Ok, no GTK+! (Could this be fixed with GLib?)
I didn't understand this. When you say you implement the UI as a thin layer do you mean you wrap only the few controls you need?

GLib is a utility library; it provides things like container types, filesystem access, networking utilities, threads, object-oriented programming with events and properties, and other similar functions in a platform-independent manner. GTK+ uses GLib. You can use GLib on its own as well. It won't solve the problem of GTK+ being clunky on Windows, though.
I thought that was GLib, and GTK+ was using GLib to implement controls.
Which library does one need to build their own controls?
