Hallo!
As far as I know all current hosts that support LV2 GUIs are using GTK
themselves, so none that I know of.
I see - so the implementation of a host might become quite tricky ... ;)
Actually, the host wouldn't have to deal with it at all (though it would
probably be nicer to have it in the host than in every plugin that
needed it). My ancient oscilloscope DSSI plugin uses shared memory
between the plugin and GUI, and the host has no idea about it.

Yes, it is possible. You can load and run the GTK GUIs
in a separate
process and use OSC to communicate with the host, just like DSSI does.
OK, I did
not know that. But did a host already implement that ? And would that also work if you need bigger data
from an application to
for instance display a FFT of a signal ... ?
You'd probably use shared memory for that. Or send it as a blob using
OSC, if it was a one-time thing.
