I am working on in a Windows environment, and the GUI is written in Visual C++. 
 It allows the user to add, delete, and edit the items in a custom 
select/dropdown field, and then it saves the modifications to the Trac.ini.  

I looked in trac-hacks.org but didn't find anything.  Perhaps I wasn't using 
the correct search terms to find the one you are referring to.  Do you have a 
link to the one you think might work?  I would rather use something that is 
integrated into Trac, but launching from Trac is okay, too.

Thanks!

I am not aware of any way apart from writing a trac plugin (I have done one 
that uses an external program).  However, if you are writing a plugin you might 
as well do your GUI in that instead of the external app?

Can you expand on what your GUI does ~ it sounds like there might already be a 
similar plugin available ~ did you search trac-hacks.org?
