Great! I'm looking forward to it.

I don't think this has to be `unfortunately'. It is an important part
of the Gnome story that it is *free* and that the main architects
actually understand what *free* means and why it is important. This
message is worth spreading. Maybe you can find some friendly words
for it.

I would be most happy if you could also show the same program in
Guile, Python, Objective-C, C++ and TOM, maybe C. [any other bindings
out there?] This would kill a lot of space...
Here is one in Guile, I'm sure the other guys are listening...
(use-modules (gtk gtk))
(let ((window (gtk-window-new 'toplevel))
(button (gtk-button-new-with-label "Hello")))
(gtk-container-add window button)
(gtk-signal-connect button "clicked" (lambda ()
(display "Hello World!\n")
(gtk-exit)))
(gtk-widget-show-all window)
(gtk-main))

I can't put long hours into it, but I would be happy to answer any
questions you have about Gtk, especially how it caters to languages
other than C.
