I think DWT for D2 worked with Windows and Linux (tested on).

The port is very Java style, it doesn't have a D layer to make it work nicely 
with ranges (err last time I used it 3 yrs ago). All the packages are 
org.eclipse... The library itself is huge and the port isn't complete.

It probably isn't a good idea to bring it into Phobos since it needs to be easy 
to keep up with SWT development. However it might be reasonable to take DWT, 
mold it into a D like library and continue development separate from SWT. I 
don't know if that is easier than developing a D2 GUI library from scratch, but 
having such a library in Phobos is probably a *great* idea.
