Subject: Re: GUI

All,

Thanks for your answers.
I did check out rubywebdialogs, but I guess that when users see a 
browser, they'll think the app is a webapplication.

Maybe some of you know Komodo (ActiveState) which is written using XPFE 
(Mozilla's framework) and Python (using PyXPCOM) this is running like 
it was a native app on my Mac (OSX).
Any opinions on XUL or XULRunner?

So now I gotta find out whether libglade/glade run's on Mac OSX - I'll 
try compiling it (if that doesn't work I'll try and grab it from 
darwinports).

Thanks,
Tom.
