Yes look at pbd's applications, he uses his own gtk subclasses for gui elements
(using pixmaps for knobs and sliders) It will be more than sufficient. Besides, 
we can improve the gui separately if it's not tied to a machine. And the GUIs 
here are an help, not the ultimate composition tool anyway. -n
