DSSI runs the plugin UI in a separate process with its own X
connection. It's not ideal, but it works OK. The biggest problem is
that it makes it trickier for the host to re-parent the UI - I don't
know if anyone's made that work.
However it's important not to let the perfect be the enemy of the
good. Having UIs at all is more important than subtle features that
some host would like to make things prettier / more convienient.

the problem will be rather: why has this plugin a GUI in ardour and
ingen and not in qtractor.
while this other plugin has a gui in qtractor and non in ardour and
ingen.
So how can the toolkit issue be adressed?
Could there be something like GUI hosts to assist plugin hosts
by running plugin GUIs that use another toolkit?
What does DSSI do?
