Good luck for the standards committee to standardize anything like that. Also, wxWidgets would be only part of the solution, it would still need a graphics back-end for actually drawing anything, plus some fonts for rendering texts. On some platforms the graphics back-end is built into the OS, on others it is not. BTW, what has happened with Mr Flibble and his neoGFX library?
