Perhaps you should first share what are you trying to achieve? If you
think of desktop games, it's mostly buttons, toolboxes (many buttons in
row) and menu's (many 'buttons' again). Create a button class and then
some classes on top of that.

Althought I never considered this game startup/pause screen a good idea 
worth of implementing in any game but it is probably just me :-)


To me it seem like it is result of typical Nokia non-multitasking way of 
implementing games in phones. Perfect for phone but not needed in proper 
multitasking environment with multiple windows and window/task  manager. 
Second reason might be that the trick with SDL_VIDEO_X11_WMCLASS was not 
known in early IT2005 times so this was a way to avoid the missing icon 
in task manager.

what i mean is a tutorial which gives us some tips to create more
sophisticated user interfaces. GTK is good, but not sufficient to catch
gamers attention.
