I like your recommendations for sources of good ideas. I think you wrote truest, though, right at the beginning: Writing a cross-platform, cross-windowing-toolkit GUI is far from easy. The difficulty goes way up if you want to support internationalization, accessibility, or even drawing. I'm not sanguine about the prospects for the grand ambition you describe.
