For me the GUI sounds also like a quite annoying problem - wouldn't it 
be possible to limit LV2 to one GUI toolkit and then use this for all 
applications regardless with which toolkit they are written ?
(E.g. in a separate thread or process - then it would be also possible 
to use any toolkit you like in the plugin and it is simply started in 
the host ...)

Otherwise I don't see much sense in writing LV2 GUIs ATM and using them 
in non-GTK applications  ...
