 But if the work gets done only half-way then maybe nobody will
 implement the device methods, and we'll end up with a #ifdef soup.
 
 IMO one should do either all the work or none, not 50 or 80%. 
from a theoretical standpoint, maybe.
from a practical standpoint, *-gtk.c is going to rot faster than yesterday's
fish if there's *any* significant duplication.
