For customize we definitely want to use layouts, but then I think

customize output needs completely redoing for native widgets as it is very
text-oriented......any volunteers? :) Customize would be the Big Test for
this stuff.
i.e. for customize a lot of the text can disappear and the rest go in labels.
That is exactly what I am "afraid" of. The current "text in buffers"
metaphor may produce ugly interface but is consistent. It will work on
TTY's and on window systems. I like the fact that you can just C-s a
long file list in XEmacs, you can C-s for text in a customize buffer
etc. I am prepared to loose some of this as part of interfaces with
real gui elements, but I would like to try to loose at little of it as
buffer. Therefore I am wary of a shift of information from buffers to
glyph data. It is all-right if the glyphs are just markup, but now you
can do much more than that.
