This is where XAML or XUL are particularly suited.
The idea is that the UI will be mostly svg commands or in some cases 
images.. But rendered completely by the engine.  Look up what you get 
for using it and you will see what I am talking about.  There is work to 
be done getting XAML to function on linux.. But it would be worth the 
effort, IMHO.

BTW, mono has started a project called moonlight which aims to bring 
silverlight applications to mono. Maybe we can help accelerate some of 
that work?
