We do > have GTK bindings though (http://dui.sourceforge.net/) Those bindings, and forgive my bluntness, suck in a way that it's hard to describe; the API is horrible (four ways to add a callback to a "clicked" event? come on, give me a break) and the rationale for some of their choices is risible ("uttons are there to pass on user events not executing actions"? key bindings and composite widgets anyone?). They still need a lot of work just to be *half* as good as any of the other bindings of the platform libraries. I concede that, in time and with enough manpower and when D will have reached a critical mass of users, D should become a tool for developing GNOME applications. But now it's really too early even to plan upon it.
