And it won't work on TTY's.
No reason it couldn't. Would just have to implement them ourselves, like
any other `widgets' on a TTY. widget.el should provide the abstraction we
need on whether to use 'native' widgets (when in X or Windows or whatever),
and a text-only representation (like it uses now) on a TTY.
A gauge could easily be mocked up on a tty... we already have the slider
stuff, someone could adapt that pretty easily I think.
