There was an announcement that people are working on a GTK binding
for GNAT, but I don't know how far this has developped so far.
(Ask briot@gnat.com and jbrobecker@west.raytheon.com)
A GTK binding would be a major step to allow Ada programmers
to participate in the GNOME project, which works on a very cool
better-than-Windows98 GUI desktop environment for Unices. Another
important step would be a free Corba binding for Ada, since Corba
is the glue that will bind the GNOME applications together (like OLE
in Windows). Oliver.Kellogg@vs.dasa.de is working on a Corba binding.

I think these are clearly the way to go for Ada GUI projects.
