Despite it's affiliation with the gnomedesktop project, it will work 
with just about all desktop environments/windows managers (I use various 
gDesklets sensors and displays with a desktop bg set by bsetroot and 
openbox for my windows manager).

Adapting/writing your own desklet displays and sensors are rather 
insanely easy, and its all in Python (and this is high praise, since I 
generally have hated python over the years, mainly because I stubornly 
tend to avoid OO programming).

&gt; PyGtk is a rather nice tool set. Much of the RedHat admin tools are
&gt; written in PyGtk.

&gt;&gt;&gt;I quickly figured out how to create a gui in Python/Tkinter and I ain't
&gt;&gt;&gt;no genius.  I find Python to be a sweet little language.  It is simple
&gt;&gt;&gt;and pretty darn fast.  The gui stuff is a lot simpler than Java.  Though
&gt;&gt;&gt;Java is pretty easy to get the hang of

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;In a class I was recently stuck using VB.net to make GUI front ends for
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;an Access database.  I've created a new database in MySQL I'm messing
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;with and want to throw a front end of sorts on it to act as a sort of
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;customer tracking systems.
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;Any suggestions for something to hack this together with?  The VB.net
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;was very easy to throw something quick and dirty together but I don't
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;mind learning some new perl tricks or something.  My C is amazingly
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;horrid and not worth re-learning from scratch.
