I can't really help you with that kind of question. The Microsoft Windows system has always been a mystery to me. Why can't they ship their OS with proper documentation in the form of source code? :-)
I learned more about GNU in my first 6mos of use than I did in the 7 previous years of working in Windows (before that it was DOS...).
The hardest thing is GUI's, since every widget set has its own peculiarities. The next hardest is audio and other forms of multimedia. Usually it isn't worth trying to solve this problem unless you have something like Java AWT around to take care of the icky details.But unless another project does this work for us, we'll eventually need to address the hard issues of creating portable free libs for these things.
Unfortunately, that's one of those "Do I have to [implement a portable GUI library] mommy?" things. ;)
