I haven't actually programmed with this, but the second beta for it is out
now, so the API should be stable.  There's also libGII for input.

There is also the 2D renderer in Crystal Space.  It has the advantage of
being platform independent.  Although Crystal Space is a 3D game engine,
you can use the 2D renderer separately if you aren't wanting to use 3D
graphics.
