Fellow at work just turned me on to a new GUI setup. With your KDE
install you get QT and designer. Designer is a graphical GUI builder
for QT. But it generates an XML file, which can also be used by
other languages, in particular, Pyqt and Perlqt. At work, this fellow
is prototyping in pyqt, and when he is happy, he just replaces the python
with c++, and the GUI stuff stays the same. I'm trying to write a little
GUI now with Perlqt. Not bad,
