SDL has been ported to Windows and Beos also, which is perfect. Stuff
like
video animation would be nice also and wouldn't be such a hassle with
it. But
I'm not sure if the maintainers of FreeCiv would be fine with mixing Gtk
and
SDL or not.

The only reason I'm mucking aroound with the city view in SDL is because

I wanted to learn SDL. It appears to be much easier to use for this
task.  Now
if only I had all the images for the improvement and wonders ... can't
imagine
doing them all *shudder*.
