Define it all yourself in SVG. Use librsvg to implement the
behaviours. Use SDL to wrap whatever User events
(Mouse/Keyboard/etc) are needed to modify those behaviours. Its
maybe is not a greta 'turnkey GUI solution', but if you have a look
at it, and try your own implementation, you might see that it is far
more powerful an approach than to use a pre-packaged method ..
Having done it, I'll never bother with 'yet another GUI lib' again ..
SVG gives you a structure for all your GUI elements, SDL has the
Event handling down pretty well, and .. there's just no need to do it
any other way, once you've done it once ..
