As a first step I would personally add (~move from CT)
window support to core. I'm for example relying on
a custom written windowing system, so I cannot use the
CT one as is. Admittedly this is a rare thing, but
having windowing capabilities in core GT would be good
for everyone I guess.

This way CT windowing could become just a thin(nish)
compatibility layer above the core implementation.

Having window support in core could create the bed
for natively windowing GTs (like GTWVW). From this
point on, the actual presentation could be changed to
more and more graphical.

But, for me it's still very difficult to believe
in _any_ portable GUIs.. It's enough to look at
Firefox, all the work they've done, and it's still
(3.0) just a mockup on OS X for example. Maybe using
QT, but QT is commercial. Not to mention the huge
work this needs for any final apps to migrate.

BTW, there is GUI in XBase++ too, but it looks very
very "alien" even in Windows... for sure it doesn't
look professional.

Brgds,
Viktor
