I guess size is not important for you. We (Montavista) are supporting
Microwindows, which is a small footprint open-source windowing system
for embedded systems (I must have said this a thousand times at
LinuxWorld). you can find a srpm and a rpm for 8xx on our ftp site
ftp://ftp.mvista.com. It is very light weight, but has several widgets
(listbox, buttons, etc).

yeah, if you are in a hurry, I suggest trying microwindows. It has both
a Win323 API and a "X like" API into its graphics engine. If you are
familiar with either one, you can have a simple app running in no time.
