Hello,
well, there is definitely some interest at least on my side. And I am sure  
that there would be much more interest if the GTK port would be at least  
sort of usable since I think many people today think something like  
"motif? I am not gonna even have a look."
And it is a pain not to have a decent GUI debugger for GTK, I am not  
really comfortable with KDE/QT.
However, since I just last week wrote my first program, I am afraid I will  
not be able to help in quite some time.
