I really enjoyed the talks[1] you gave at LGM 2009 (or I should say the videos of them as I didn't attend). The kinematics talk[2] was quite intriguing and I hope to see the concept incorporated into GIMP sometime in the future.
You are probably already familiar with it, but your usability lecture reminded of the UI Facades project (http://insitu.lri.fr/metisse/facades) which permits runtime rearrangement of GTK widgets and provides an extremely flexible framework for user adaptable interfaces. Some of their concepts might be of interest to your project. Thanks for all of your efforts.
