I'd look into to porting NEdit to wxWidgets, sitting on top of Motif 
(http://www.wxwidgets.org/docs/faqmot.htm).  That's what you're thinking of.

First just link it it in and little else.  Then, slowly remove all the 
direct X and Motif dependencies until it's purely wxWidgets.  Once it's 
done, rehost it to gtk or OSX whatever.

Pure GTK in C is fairly icky as Motif is in C, just better, but still 
icky.  It's still trying to model an object-oriented concept onto a 
non-OO language.  Yuck.
