Not really, as you could theoretically port GDK, Glib, GTK+, and Gnome to
NanoGUI (probably without a huge amount of work) and then be able to
compile Gnome programs to run on NanoGUI. IE. Gnome and KDE are at a
higher layer than we're talking about. But yes, you would need to
either port the particular toolkit used to write the applications you're
interested in to NanoGUI or if it doesn't use a toolkit (most do), port
it directly to the NanoGUI API itself which, as Greg is saying, isn't a
million miles away from the X API.
