   GUI projects gotta have screen-shots to motivate visitors. Especially
good for this project would be one small form shown on each platform. As an
example, PythonCard has
http://pythoncard.sourceforge.net/samples2.html
   whch displays screen-shots of quite a few demonstrations including some
which are shown on both Windows and GTK+/X/Linux.

   The anygui project (another Python thing) has
http://anygui.sourceforge.net/screenshots.php
