Of course, I know this. I dug a little into python and gtk on maemo 
(which seems nice), but I tend toward using a compiler language for most 
of my applications. Sometimes I think I would be better off with python.

I really don't want to say this. You can blame me that I haven't looked 
ad gtkmm. But it's more all the tutorials are in C, so I go to use C. I 
personally want to use the _native_ language on a system. And really: 
gtk offers me everything I want. But sometimes I think "this would be a 
little more elegant with a native OO language". The gtk developers did a 
great job without any doubt.

This are just my 2 cents,

-Klaus
