Graphical User Interface related

Gtk add-ons: glade--, Gtk_Ostream, Gtk-- examples.
Swindows a very small abstract multiple window graphic system for Linux. Designed to be (somewhat) portable, really small and VERY bandwidth efficient. Runs with and without X11.

Development has come to halt since I don't use it any longer to write programs. The last issues I addressed are: client thread safety, dynamic widget resizing, glibc-2 port, big endianness. Though these are still beta.

If you really want a small, portable GUI, look for a glib/gtk+ port to framebuffers. Gtk+ is flexible, has a lot of language bindings and is evolving FAST. It will soon appear at the gnome project!
