Emacs tends to do things on its specific way. Big fat frameworks like
GTK and (even worse AFAIK) Qt provide high-level APIs and don't work
very well when the user needs to deviate from them.
Long time ago I proposed to investigate the feasibility of a Qt backend,
which was a not very welcomed because it would entail C++ and... Qt. Rigth
now I'll rather pick some low-level GUI library and build on top of it.
