If you look in the same web page as the X11 version,
 http://www.gaffer.org/ptc/download/distributions/unix/
one of the files is a ggi version of PTC.  It's
different than the X11 version, but they are source-
compatible.

I'll assume using a similar mechanism via gii.  You'd
have to double-check to be sure.

I believe that PTC began life as a portable library
intended for demo coders, so input wasn't a big deal
at first.  There was a draft input-spec on their
development list recently, so I'd expect the input
situation to change for the better.
