put it another way:

is there any lv2 plugin which is not using the lv2_external_ui extension
but is xembed-dable and please, do not force the host to link to libgtk
et al. and even show its gui?? i'd like to know :)

oh, and did i say that the gtkmm based ones are even crappier in that
regard? because it also forces you (host) to link to libgtkmm, which is
outrageously and utterly plain nuisance?
