Part of the reason for that, is that there is a lot of old code that was
written before the redesign of the underlying interface to the native
widgets. And at least for gtk1, it misses some functionality that is
needed to be emulated for the lcl(like z order handling or window
maximizing.) I know the resize event handling and the keypress handling
in gtk1 to make the lcl happy is quite complex.
