A long time ago Richard Jones wrote this: "The pyglet repository has
contrib/wydget which is a pretty comprehensive widget toolkit. I
stopped developing it last year when I changed jobs, and I believe
development shouldn't restart because the fundamental approach I was
taking was wrong."

I looked at the Simple Menu Class he provided - see it in 'Files' -
and while I was able to extend it into a scrollable menu class, which
may allow me to make a simple file selector class which might be
enough to get moving on, I'm trying to understand these things:

1. What was wrong with the Wydget approach?
2. What happened to all the GUIs that people were working on?
3. Any suggestions on how to implement layouts and themes on top of
the rather barebone approach?

I've abandoned wxPython because it fundamentally won't support
transparent widgets which is non-ideal for working with games.  I'd
have to dive into wxWidget's C++ class library to add support, which
seems like a lot more work than warranted to me.  Other GUIs that I've
reviewed seem universally abandoned.  I haven't tried CEGUI yet but
I've heard that it's very difficult to work with.
