i can make gtk-- wrappers very quickly, no problem (its mostly
automated).

i have spent quite a while looking at libglade, btw. its clearly very
close to what we're trying to do here, but:

      1) on the one hand, its *too* general. i don't want
          to have plugins with arbitary GTK widgets unless
          they provide their own code to do so.

      2) on the other hand, its not specific enough - wrapping
          up the various widgets i expect to add to the set
          we provide will be quite a bit of work. and
          most GTK widgets are pretty horrible for our purposes -
          all that nonsense about PRELIGHT states and really
          appalling design for spinbuttons (i've been almost
          every GTK theme and still have not seen a good one).

so although libglade is tantalizingly close already, my sense is that
its not close enough, and won't get any closer. yours ?
