Sure Karsten, if I can do it then anyone can. :-)  I think widget design
is where most GPs see themselves as being involved and making a
contribution, at least initially. 

I've also had a private mail from Alberto Griggio, the author of
wxGlade, which in this case I have taken the liberty of attaching,
because he is mainly after feedback and bug reports. Richard may care to
expand on the bugs he experienced and Tony could try it out on the Mac.
For those interested, the wxGlade mailing list entry point is at 
http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wxglade-general. 

For the record I am on Mandrake 8.2, (2.4.18-6mdk kernel), GTK/wxPython 
2.3.2.1 and I also have 2.3.2 on the system as previously mentioned so I
am not sure which I am using. Such is GTK. :-(
