I personally have some doubts/misgivings about GTK. Especially when
you consider running it within a CL implementation.

The main problem that I see is that GTK seems designed to be a
"one-application" toolkit system. That is to say, you have no way to
get in the main event loop (at least not at this time).

Any comments on this?

Cheers
