There is an example of the sort of thing that you have been suggesting.

The normal version of the LyX graphical front-end to LaTeX is compiled using 
the xforms package.   For those who cannot use this package for whatever 
reason, there is a version compiled using the Qt libraries that KDE uses. 

The second version is called KlyX.

Basil Fowler
