Cool. apt-cach show in Debian suggests you are the maintainer for both Ghemical and PyMol packages. Ghemical 1.00-2 is dependent on libgtk1.2 hence looks dead ugly anyway. gchempaint ... whats that? But I think I get your point. IMO we should build on the good looks of Gtk2+ and the unique artistry of structural biology. A bit like the stuff at http://arttech.about.com/library/bl_geis_archives2.htm If anyone can take a lead on organising the Gtk2+ collection of software this will be a worthwhile project. Count me in. There is a Gnome IRC channel for GnomeArt where help should be around. Best regards, Ramanan
