Its probably not what you are looking for, but on this note there is
xemacs which is much more graphical, and there is also a build of xemacs
based on gtk (don't know if 1 or 2)
But if you are looking for an editor xemacs is probably an over shoot,
since its intended to be more of a developement environment (some would
claim a complete environment) then just an editor.
vim has a more graphical interface called gvim. version 6 is based on
gtk2 (or at list can be I belive it can also be compiled for gtk1), but
from your description I don't think that thats what you are looking for
either I'm afraid.
It has more of a unixish fill then widowish.
