Are you aware of InterViews, originally implemented at Stanford, nowadays sponsored by SGI as the basis for an X consortium C++ GUI toolkit? It is freely available, it's here today, and it works. The biggest problem it has today is a lack of documentation (tutorials etc.). Another problem is the changes in the library between the releases (*BIG* changes between IV-2.6 and IV-3.0, smaller but often confusing changes between IV-3.0 and IV-3.1). - Steinar
