no. that is the question at hand.

exactly. I actually do that once in a while. I find the GTK interface
pretty nice.

Not that I am aware of.

Ideally, the gui should be implemented modular, as a plugin, but when
asking the devs, it will not happen til after SDL2 is fixed.

So for now, we can find/use some wrapper, or have a secondary
package built with --enable-gtk - but that will only be done for x86
and x86_64 not for all 27 archs.
