A GTK version of the GUI would be very handy. You also might consider
designing the UI so that it's usable even on a very small display
(say, 200x320). It's not that hard or limiting, it just takes some
thinking. It would then be very easy to port and
cross-compile it for the GPE environment (handhelds.org). Currently
I use a port of the console version on my IPAQ, but I'd love to
see a usable GUI version.

In this regard it's also very important to minimize the
dependencies - no one is going to port the FOX version to handheld
devices, because the FOX library takes a lot of space and no other
apps make use of it. But if your GTK version of the GUI depended
only on GLIB and GTK, then the porting would be a trivial effort.
