Can things from gtk+/gtkmm be reused in other libraries?  I think
typically it isn't straight forward to mix widgets from different
libraries, though I wont say that it is impossible (technology evolves,
changes and grows and things not possible today may turn out to be
possible tomorrow).

Presently, I think that there are widgets that understand HTML and allow
embedding of HTML content.  I've not used any of them myself.

In gtkmm, there are the Gtk::Socket and Gtk::Plug classes that allow the
embedding of windows from other processes in gtkmm application, but this
works only in systems running X Windows (see the class docs and the C
API docs).
