This *is* the wrong group to address these issues. A better forum or 
based to build an object oriented GUI can be a java forum.
C++ is great however it requires a ton of effort to build a decent
object oriented GUI or a *decent* object oriented library.

We are taking small steps in the OO world, like porting corba ORBs , ilu,
java, etc... however even at that level we lack a suitable development
environment.
