Here's one they funded again since last year:   Enlightenment Project

"advanced libraries and tools to support  applications, such as Imlib, Imlib2, and FnLib, .  .  .  .  .offer such functionality as 
an X11 canvas library (Evas), X11 abstraction layer (Ecore), and an canvas based interface layout library (Edje) that allows 
separation of interface and application logic (thus making every application that uses it "skinable"). These libraries are 
extremely fast and lightweight. So much so they have been adopted by many other organizations."


Maybe enlightenment libraries could help our tools?  I know, we have plenty of investment in GTK, but the part about
"separation of interface and application logic"  sounds just like our design philosophy...
