Sometimes I think that virtual abstract things have been conceived to 
make life harder.
They would be great if you wanted to change widgetset on the fly (which 
isn't very usual...), but if you're trying to follow the path of 
anything starting from LCL, you're stuck at a virtual abstract 
declaration, and either you remember how it's been implemented, or you 
must single step in debug! You save a few ifdefs, and you loose hours 
trying to reconstruct what you've done!

I think that X11 will look pretty much the same.
Thanks,
