This is something that is going to keep happening. The only way to
fix it would be to rename it to comp.gui.misc (or something equally
appropriate, just anything without "windows" in it).

Is it worthwhile doing this? Too much hassle to change the whole
comp.windows... hierarchy? Maybe someone wants to start the ball
rolling, as I have no idea what needs to be done to change the name.

I quite agree with this.  I am a MS-WINDOWS user myself, but I like to
keep up with what's happening with other GUIs.

There was a RFD for a comp.windows reorganization awhile ago (along the
lines of comp.gui).  I posted a reply on news.groups in favor of this, but
haven't seen much else.  Anyone know the status of this discussion?
