You've done it now Mike you...volunteered :-p

This might be a good topic for that GUI stuff that Jason wants so much.

However a taxonomy of widget sets/GUI libraries(GTK,QT,TK,Motif...) is 
not completely what we will want, I think that we could probably show 
the group some of the more spectacular graphics that the X windows 
system might be capable of.

I think that if nothing else an exhibition of the diversity of windowing 
and GUI stuff would be kind of fun.

In short, it might be a fun show.
