I found XML2GUI (as linked from our wiki) which I don't like because it seems to be nothing more than tk commands folded into an XML syntax, and it won't help us get rid of the uglyness of Tk on Linux. Also it seems that there was something Gtk-based with Tcl bindings, called 'Entity', but all website links I could find for it are dead, so I think it is not developed anymore. Also I looked at some not Tcl-related implementations, but they're simply not the way I'd like it. In fact, XUL gets most close on syntax, Glade gets close in implementation/API. I am trying to make a nice crossing between the two, as well as adding some of my own ideas. If it will work the way I think of now, the code needed to do this won't be so much. Most will be done using existing libraries (e.g. GLib, Gtk, libxml).
