Windex while in general a smaller library than GWindows does have some areas that it is better fleshed out in. GWindows is also tuned toward the larger project I was working on for a GNU Delphi replacement. (GWindows + GNATCOM + GNAVI IDE). So it is very easy to target for a GUI builder based on its dispatching model combined with inheritance.
