One of the ways that I wanted the Project Manager to unfold was to have the gEDA tools (gschem, etc) embedded/nested within the main window. I have been searching on how to do this using PyGTK/GTK and it looks like the only way that we are going to be able to run external xwindow apps within PyGTK/GTK is to use Plugs and Sockets. However, in order for this to work the external GUI apps have to be GTK apps. I haven not scanned all the source but it seems some of the apps use GTK (version?) so this may work. For the ones that are not implemented with GTK, AFAIK we would need to write GTK wrappers and since I have never done this I do not know how much work is involved. Any thoughts and/or suggestions?
