So far I've found: Libsx is cool --- I started using it almost 20 years ago after looking around for libs I could use. Qt was rather new and required C++, gtk seemed even worse than qt, so I found libsx. Guess what, libsx still works today like it did 20 years ago :) > http://www.ee.usyd.edu.au/tutorials/ee_database/programming/libsx/libsx.html Yes, the documentation is really good. It comes with the Debian package.

You can even write pretty large applications with it.
