Ah ucalgary, the old alma mater. Say hi to Richard for me. ;)

I can't say where they went but I do know that gnomeui is going the way
of the Dodo. The good widgets there are getting punted to better places
(mostly GTK+ proper), or dropped. Based on my googling I suspect that
those widgets were considered of limited usefulness, and were just
dropped outright.

Perhaps you can track down the maintainers of gnomeui or try the gtk-
devel list.

Cheers,
