That would be nice. Unfortunately SDL doesn't have widgets built-in and as
far as i know the widget sets that exist for it are not very good. Besides
SDL seems to me like something designed for full-screen games. It doesn't
have decent support for more than one drawing surface (from what i hear).
To use an already existing X widget library with SDL (like GTK+) would
require considerable kludging. Until these things change i fear making an
SDL port would be too much work.
