hi Mirox, I was going to use gtk and opted for a locally run browser app similar to cups for that reason. All code is on my github if you wanna contribute
I would contribute, but (a) I don't like lisp and (b) I am not a fan of browser applications that are not the focus of the application. (having to have a browser open aside from your client)

Also, fixed my GTK problems -- apparently GTK does not like threads even when you lock resources. I wanted to make these things not require an extra monitor/small client and have full control of the surrounding container. Using GTK, I could just make the program act as a 'skin' that catches hotkeys and will show the appropriate overlay rather than having to alt-tab to a browser with no container control. Just my two cents tho!
