I suspect that it'd have to be an all or nothing deal. The Xcircuit drawing
window is an Xt thing. The schematic capture logic is deeply entrenched with Xt
calls. Perhaps these could co-exist with gtk. I don't know...

I contacted Tim Edwards (the author of Xcircuit) and am awaiting his answer. I
basically asked about gtk, the Xcircuit license and about how hard it would be
to support something like `dynamic symbols' (i.e. encapsulations of the modules
I've created).
I also have joined the gEDA mailing list and will try to solicit opinions from
there too.
