I agree that this is a good idea. Doesn't PyQt require a commercial license on Win32? The de-coupled backend is a good idea, and I would love to have alternatives - I'm a bit slanted towards wxPython, myself. ;)
Heck, I would love to have an curses-based alternative to manage, monitor, and provide an interface to restart all ZEO clients and ZSS boxes in a terminal; this would make for easier remote admin via SSH from potentially different client platforms. For larger ZEO clusters, it would make a lot of sense to have consolidated management. If there is any interest in a framework that could provide the underlying functionality to multiple UI front-ends, as well as automated stuff like alerts/monitoring, I would certainly be interested in using and contributing to development of such a beast.

I've been thinking about something like this as well; PyQt would definately be the way to go. The backend should be de-coupled from the UI, of course.
