[I posted this already from UK on Monday 26th- since I haven't seen it
appear this side of the pond, I'm assuming it got lost. If it *does*
appear after all, sorry for the double posting.]

I have been looking for (and expecting to find) published work comparing
the architectures of different GUI's, and window systems in particular.
However, I've seen nothing so far save a few pages here and there in user
interface design texts -- maybe I'm looking in the wrong places. 

I am interested in e.g. comparison of the Macintosh toolbox vs. call-back
routine approaches to event handling, the granularity of event types,
data-structures for storing window information, and the like. 

Can anyone recommend texts which cover these sort of things in reasonable
detail, or is there really a gap in the book literature?

Thanks!
