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.

Ref:

    http://home.eol.ca/~parkw/index.html#gtk

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!
