Yeah I did one of my own as well. It's kind of in a todo state, I
started implementing layout support but then got so tired of trying to
figure out how to properly do it that I've left it to collect some
digital dust for a while.

Yeah that's interesting. I went the Qt route and implemented a
prioritized message queue, so higher-priority events get dispatched
before lower-priority events. And then for other more important things
events can be dispatched immediately rather than queued (this is very
much like Qt's sendEvent vs postEvent).

If I had the actual experience of using major GUI libs like WPF for an
extended period of time (and preferably in a commercial setting where
successful projects were released), then I'd volunteer to do it.
Otherwise it's no good acting like Stalin if you don't know exactly
*what* you're doing. :P
