OK, but now I still have my original question.
Can an application window be built using a call to gnomeui.App which will automagically give me the  consistent and slick "look and feel" of a Gnome Application (menubar, dockable toolbar, etc) using a simple command or two like in the bonoboui example? (And if so, can anyone point me to some documentation or example code showing how?)

I also now have another question: What is it that "most developpers" know that causes them to want to avoid Gnome windows? Maybe if I knew that, I wouldn't be asking the first question.
