Yes, but GTK2 is fat, slow and ugly. ;)
Seriously, it is somewhat slow on my desktop, I'd never try to run it on
a Geode running at 300MHz ...

As far as I understood it, fpGUI uses the Xlib directly to draw it's
widgets. Graeme knows all the details, but if it is so, the complete GTK
is superfluous. That makes at least approx. 1,5 MB on disk and one
software layer less.
Okay, RAM is getting bigger, Flash is getting faster, but in the design
as it currently is, that would save some loading time, main memory
consumption and maybe processing time (although probably not noticable
by the user).
And it would squash some GTK-bugs including workarounds to make the
system work as expected.
For me that's an attractive advantage.
