I maintain Frotz, which is an emulator for the old Infocom games and new
ones written in the Inform language.  I'd also like a clean way to convert
something from textual ncurses to GTK without making a mess.  However, I'd
settle for a guide on how to use existing GTK calls to do the equivelent
of ncurses calls (I've kept user interface and core code strictly
seperated).
