This was part of what was discussed at the imprompto gnome office
bof just before the abiword talk.  The goal is to improve the amount
of shared code.  They would still be super-xp with support for
native menus/dialogs.  However, in an ideal world (from my
perspective) we could share the widget that renders the page.  This
offers pango and a shared drawing layer, while retaining their
native look.
