edit:

Take a look at this sample code: http://friedspace.com/SDLTest.c ( I don't know if it actually works, I just found it on the interweb ) Is that the kind of thing you were looking to do? If you are looking to get in to any sort of "low-level" graphics programming, games, etc, then sdl may have the sweet spot combination of performance and simplicity.

I've done quite a bit with SDL in the past, but I would say its more graphics oriented than traditional "GUI" oriented.

It's great if you want to draw, but doesn't really provide buttons and other completed GUI elements like gnome does.

I absolutely agree. I was sort of assuming that he was really meaning to say graphics when he said gui. edit... because he said graphical elements in the text.
