Most [OO] GUI toolkits are yet more of the same primitive stuff. From the
glimpse I got from Qt I think it
goes in the right direction, but I got an idea it's just reinventing stuff in
a way which has already been superseded (something like GARNET's formulas).
The better one is to use multi-way constraints. There're toolkits based on
that (for Eiffel (unreleased) and Smalltalk). What still needs to be thought
is how to merge that with the CLIM presentation model.
