I would think that floats make the most sense for percentage based 
rectangles, while ints make the most sense for absolute pixel position 
based rectangles.  So perhaps something like the following might be 
appropriate?

struct px { typedef int pos_type; };
struct pc { typedef float pos_type; };

gui::rect < px > rect1;
gui::rect < pc > rect2;
