Just in case people get the wrong impression, I am far too cowardly to
do battle with X11 at a low level. I'd much prefer to use something like
GTK.

In the (probably misguided) attempt to produce things which are
platform-independant, I have mainly concentrated on things like Tcl/Tk
rather than GTK, but while I have found Tk pretty good at the toolkit
level, the whole bundle is giving me coding problems which stop me form
doing things like full dictionary clients.

Maybe it's time to look at GTK-Wimp. Has anyone tried to crank up a
platform-independant app using GTK/GTK-Wimp?
