For your reading pleasure, this is a copy of what I posted to
<comp.unix.shell>, and other mandatory cross-posting...
I'm very excited to announce shell interface to GTK+2 (2.6.1) for Bash.
It read XML syntax describing the widget layout, and returns user
selection as shell variable or runs shell command as callback. It's
designed for simple GUI dialog or layout, with the emphasis on getting
the user data back into shell.
For the moment, the shell variable and command are disabled. It just
prints to stdout, instead. But, you can change it easily.

Usage:
gtk < file.xml
gtk file.xml...
For example, GTK+2 tutorial has 2 button 'helloworld2.c',
http://www.gtk.org/tutorial/sec-anupgradedhelloworld.html
http://www.gtk.org/tutorial/images/helloworld2.png
You can now build the same thing with
<window border="10" label="Hello Buttons!">
<hbox>
<button label="Button 1" clicked="echo Button 1 was pressed" />
<button label="Button 2" clicked="echo Button 2 was pressed" />
</hbox>
</window>
Or,
gtk << EOF
<window>
...
</window>
EOF
Feedbacks are welcome. Enjoy!
