As tasty as it might sound, it seems to not be a nutritious partnership, at least not yet.

I recently added uinput support to Marshmallow Game Engine, allowing me to received input events on the Raspberry Pi. Also, You can now select which input source you want to use at compile time (evdev, x11, etc).

I got bored and decided to play around with plain C & Qt so I made a very lightweight su command with a Qt4 frontend.
