I have two GUI libraries that I love:

Cocoa and VCL.

Cocoa takes advantage of Obj-C, and VCL takes advantage of Object 
Pascal. What they both have in common is that they work with the 
underlying language, not against it, or using some side-show freaky 
tricks. Both also have the actual layout of the UI separated from the code.

I think a combination of Walter's suggestion for a mixin solution of 
signals and slots, combined with informal interfaces for delegates and 
data providers would be terrific. Sort of a blend of the best parts of 
Cocoa, VCL, and Qt could be made.
