use any X toolking you want (well almost, i recommend avoiding Qt) and use 
it properly without assuming any "desktop environment" running and your 
program will work just fine.

What's a problem?
No standard for "toolbar widgets"? Really it's completely unimportant 
thing for anyone treating computer as something more than a toy.
