Do you mean the X11 server or the libraries? The kdrive server should be
fairly small (depending on features). I think it builds from the main xorg
source today?? Isn't that what maemo uses.

No, but wxWidgets is quite mature and my experience is that it's
faster than Qt (partly, I think, because it always uses the native
widgets).

Back in the old days there were some lightweight toolkits for doing
text mode GUI's using ANSI graphic characters for MS-DOS. I did a few
of them. You could do

Erm, wxWidgets is implemented in C++ and wxPython is j

Sounds like a reasonably modern "embedded" system since
I'm looking for GUI toolkits that work with directly with the
Linux frambuffer (no X11). It's an embedded device with
limited resources, and getting X out of the picture would be a
big plus.
The toolkit needs to be free and open-source.
So far, I've found two options that will work without X11:
