Most certainly a learning experience, but why not spend the
effort in writing a GUI for things that don't have it
(or I haven't heard of it yet...) such as Samba configuration,
/etc/ftp* etc etc etc :-) vim already has a GUI version
named gvim which runs under Athena (sp?) or Motif. Or even
better, invent your own application ;-) that's what I do and
at least in my case gives me more satisfaction.
Cheers & Good Luck!
Emilio
PS. For example there is that wonderful wxftp application
written with GTK, it definitely filled a void.
