I used gtk_drawingareas (or whatever there called) in my exmaple lcp guis
(not a recommendation, I know squat about gui programming).

The main feature I would want in a specialised plugin gui library would be
the ablilty to use pixmaps based controls easily, though that will make
usability/consitency/taste fascists unhappy ;)

My impression is that is largely what libvstgui offers.
