[plug] cross platform XML based GUI layout engines?

[William Kenworthy]

Not quite xml, but something like gtkdialog sounds like its what you are
after.  There are a number of such utilities - greq is another very
simple one for use in shell scripts.  Some examples for gtkdialog can be
very fancy.

If it must be XML, write a converter - wouldnt be too hard.

I currently use gtkdialog for simple list and select dialogs for network
selection from a laptops screen icon and the like.  Quite usefull
really.
