Deprecate fltk graphics toolkit?

As I understand it, there are some issues with starting Qt graphics when running in non-gui mode, and that the fltk graphics toolkit does not have those problems. But if we could fix that, and make the Qt plot window work when running in --no-gui mode, could we deprecate the fltk graphics toolkit?

It seems wasteful to have to maintain both Qt and fltk graphics. For example, I just made a change for the "Save" and "Save As" menu items in the Qt graphics code. This change took much longer than it should have when I remembered that the change would also need to be made in the fltk graphics code and that needed to be done in a completely different way.

Comments?
