A project I'd like to start
Hi, I've been toying with the idea of one of two programs:
- a filter that will mulch the source code of X programs to use the GUI toolkit of your choice, or
- a generic wrapper for GUI toolkits that can be easily switched to use any one you prefer, perhaps including a similar filter to assimilate unsupported programs.
I think utilities such as these would help to eliminate the cruft caused by having to load multiple large graphics libraries, open the way for fully thematic interfaces, and help users that are disadvantaged or just prefer a simpler X server. (In fact, limited ncurses support is a distinct possibility.)
Perhaps in the future we could extend the filter to other aspects of GNOME and KDE as well.
Anyone else think this sounds interesting?

WXGLADE(1) User Commands WXGLADE(1)
NAME
wxglade - python program to build user interfaces based on the wxWidgets toolset.
SYNOPSIS
wxglade [--help | -h]
wxglade [--version]
wxglade [FILENAME.wxg]
wxglade {-g LANG | --generate-code LANG} [-o DESTINATION | --output DESTINATION] FILENAME.wxg
DESCRIPTION
wxglade wxGlade is a GUI designer written in Python with the popular GUI toolkit wxPython, that helps you create wxWidgets/wxPython user
interfaces. At the moment it can generate Python, Lisp, C++ and XRC (wxWidgets' XML resources) code.
OPTIONS
These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included
below. For a complete description, see the Info files.
-g or --generate-code LANG
If you only want to generate the code without starting the GUI, use the -g or --generate-code option with the language as argument
Possible values for LANG are "python", "lisp", "XRC", "perl" or "C++".
-o or --output DESTINATION
You can specify the destination of the generated code with -o or --output option.
The DESTINATION argument can be a file or a directory. It is a file when the FILENAME.wxg generates single-file source code. It is a
directory when the FILENAME.wxg generates multiple-file source code.
-h or --help
Show the help message and exit
--version
Show programs version number and exit
EXAMPLES
Generate Python code out of myapp.wxg:
wxglade -o /tmp -g python myapp.wxg
Open file myapp.wxg in wxGlade GUI:
wxglade myapp.wxg
