I agree that an API should be written to make GUI programming a lot less painful, in my case I realized that most of my problems building pygtk-console came from the fact that the software have to "chat" with the director like a human being, parsing director's answers, manage a command queue, etc. something cleaner will be a lot nicer. I'm looking forward to continue developing pygtk-console, if you don't mind I would like to remain this as part of the project. In the meantime I'll write some fixes to it that solve my particular problems. On the API side, I cannot help you with the official Bacula C++/Qt GUI as I don't know C++ neither Qt, but I can help on the API design testing things from Python, if you see is necessary.
