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.
