Qt already provides this (and much more). It means working in C++ (which is either a bug or a feature, depending upon how you look at it). I have used Qt and find it well designed and pleasant to use, but many 9fans might find such a thougt to be heretical. > Also, as Forsyth points out, the set of widgets has to be rethought, e.g., > there should be a web widget.

It sounds like interesting work! Good luck! Arnold
