Thats true, but GTK 2.x has bindings for a non-GUI interface for GTK apps (ATK), I havent tried it but I intend to implement support for JAMin. It requires a bit more work when creating the UI, but not a huge ammount, especially if you use things like glade. I've no idea what the result looks like / how usable it is. - Steve
