There's one thing I suspect can't really stay the same - menus. Within
certain limits one could make pulldown menus work within a window but
really - those are pretty poor UI. To have reasonably flexible popup
menus I strongly suspect you'd need to be able to open an OS window
(adding the need to be able to specify the window decorations) to draw
the menu in.
