This should be no problem, you make simple an abstract class where all procedures are
declared as abstract.

What's the problem with having more public functions ? I would even propose don't putting
everything in 
gtkinterface class, but is a matter of taste I think, but it would lead to a little bit
more structured
class library.


I don't know who is currently working on the graphics unit, if you want me I can implement
the graphics
stuff at least for win32/gtk as I propose.
