I still didn't give a try to dmenu. In any case, i think you are wrong
in saying that ncurses is a fairly big library,
unless you are comparing it with the termlib library (a low-level access
to the termcap database):

https://books.google.es/books?id=GsUMLqtYI1UC&pg=PA197&lpg=PA197&dq=low-level+termcap+library+C&source=bl&ots=RqLF8yM_Sb&sig=ACfU3U2qL5VG_LSqYeL_wi1cdAxLuGoZYQ&hl=es&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjx58nlnbToAhVNyoUKHZR7AAgQ6AEwAHoECAoQAQ#v=onepage&q=low-level%20termcap%20library%20C&f=false

If so, don't lump ncurses with the Gtk and Qt toolkits altogether :)

Btw, simple-netaid-cdk is going ahead, and i have it working on my
computer :

Here you are some screenshots:
