Which portable UI toolkit is or should be used for GRASS?

Do you mean different systems for display and v.digit? So that if I have
displayed map and discover that I need to edit it, I have to start 
some other application with new display? That is not good from user point
of view. It must be one system built on UI toolkit and that is what we have
to wait for 5 years.
