I still would like to see a more strict way to separately select the GUI 
(Widget) and the non-GUI functionality, so that it is possible to do a 
GUI-free, but event-queue enabled application (e.g. on Linux and on OSX).
I don't know if providing  "Widget Type" selections for future things 
like remote GUI (e.g. ExtJS, Silverlight or "ifi" based.) is the best 
way do go.

Not making clear that in fact a macro (here hidden) is used. So doing a 
dropdown selection control (that maybe also provides  '-' for 
command-line applications) and pre-select the appropriate default, seems 
less confusing to me.
