I'm working on a new EMC GUI based on PyQT4. It is, by far, the best gui toolkit around. I recommend using Qt4-designer with pyuic4 and, if not already done, to decouple your project in a gui project and a back-end project. I can give you access to my svn if you want an example.
PyQt4 will be available with ubuntu 10.04 LTS release of EMC. I'm currently developping on 9.10 using the simulator build target of EMC.
