Would one use a 2D Gaming Engine for a desktop application?

I am thinking about a library that I could use for a program to create presentations but I am not sure what one could/should use for a task like that.

What first came to my mind are 2D Gaming Engines that could be used for rendering etc. for a desktop application as well. But would one do something like that?

I don't want to reinvent the wheel here and there does not seem to exist something like a "2D Desktop Application Graphic Engine".

Does anybody have experience with something like that matter?
