Yeah that sounds cool. Maybe you could think up a sort of themable system
which has grahphical modules for every game you port to it so that you can
have an interface which combines best with the game you're porting. 
(btw: don't listen to me, what I just said probably is pure bullshit ;-)

But I don't know for sure wether it makes sense. I think it might be easier
just
to jump on the train of one of the existing Linux Gaming projects if you're
interested
in something of which future games can benefit ....
