vstgui is not really available for linux at this time. theoretically
there is a motif backend, but it seems that hardly anyone uses it or
even attempts to make sure that it works with the latest changes to 
vstgui. 

i think that the number of vst plugins using JUCE or FLTK can be counted
on the fingers of one person's hands.
