Hi Mike:

GraphApp (by Lachlan Patrick) works on all window managers I've
tried (7 or 8 different ones) with the only real difference being in the style
of the windows and borders. No changes are necessary in any code.

I'm using GraphApp with the Athena widget set. The Motif widget set looks
better, and works more like the Windows widgets, but Motif isn't free. I haven't
yet been able to get Lesstif, the free  Motif clone to work properly, but that
has nothing to do with GraphApp.

A much more versatile and nicer looking GUI for Linux/Windows, etc. is the FLTK
library. So far, I haven't had time to attempt a Euphoria wrapper for FLTK.
Maybe someday.
