Hi, Having been through this process I found I had to completely rewrite the UI side of things - you can either choose to use Morphic, or the more modern Spec overlay. I used this in conjunction with Roassal, as my UI is mainly graphic. It also renders using Cairo, giving it a nice look. I also used Pango to make the text look good too.
You'll need to abandon name spaces. Just prefix your class names as appropriate. If you've got objects to port SIXX is really useful. My two cents...
