Thanks for the feedback, this is very useful.
How much restriction is there on using CEGUI w.r.t requiring the graphics context? I'm think of things like loading schemes, fonts as well as input injection. Obvious rendering will need a graphics context.
Personally I'm a bit disappointed with the restrictions that CEGUI sets in terms of set up, putting this alongside the lack of support for multiple windows and graphics contexts I don't see it as a great fit for a scalable arhitecture like the OSG. Perhaps these problems could be fixed, but it'll my guess is that it'll require a substational refactor.

Hi,
i have tested the osgcegui Robert provided (the one from cvs) and came to
the following conclusions:
- the CEGUIDrawables must be created after the viewer.realize () - i guess
the CEGUI system needs a valid GLContext to initialize
- the paths within the CEGUI-Files (.font, .scheme, .layout, ...) have to be
relative to the directory from which you start osgcegui
after these minor changes the gui is displayed above the osg-file
the input-injection works but the values have to be converted from the
original [-1, 1] values to screen-coords
(tested with CEGUI 0.4.1)
i hope this helps,
Marc
