Ah, yes, Gimp, GPS and GVD (for example) are really quick and dirty apps. http://gtk-wimp.sourceforge.net/screenshots/gfx/gimp-winxp.png http://libre.act-europe.fr/gps/img/gps_800x600.jpg http://libre.act-europe.fr/gps/img/debug_800x600.jpg http://gtk-wimp.sourceforge.net/screenshots/ I have have seen dozens of ugly and clunky apps using the native Windows API.
