The Gtk API has been reasonably stable for a while.  The Python bindings are
quite complete, though there are a few minor limitations.

There are some glade examples in the pygtk distribution.

taking default values for borders, padding, and such.  My own complaints
about Tk are slowness and relative lack of widgets.
