It may not happen often or to many, but if you ever have a Unix shell script you need to give a quick graphical interface to, kdialog is a superb neat package. I had this need lately for some awk scripts, and looked briefly at some of the others which include xdialog, zenity, getgui (far the lightest but not real pretty). Here is a basic page on kdialog with more examples than you'll need:
http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Shell_Scripting_with_KDE_Dialogs Classic KDE stuff, detailed, thorough, more options than you can shake a stick at. Yes, you can invoke a script in Rev, and I have, but the KDE people have integrated the shell itself with the gui, its not a bolt on. You call dcop directly. For instance, a progress bar on the progress of an OS task is a native element you just call. Well, not very experienced in these things, you all may tell me this is old hat, but it seems really neat.
