I used glade on Linux (my machine) for a C++ project for school about
a year ago to run on Solaris (the lab).  It was excellent.  If I had
understood how to build a well-designed (modular) app around libglade
I would have used it instead of glade-- (the C++ source
generator/backend ; it had a few issues but nothing that took major
patching of the generated code).

I highly recommend Glade.  IMO learning how to build from the source
is a very good idea to be sure works on windows -- GTK, glade, pygtk,
etc, with the different compilers and linkers there are (ie MSVC++ vs.
mingw vs. gcc and windows vs ld).  I don't know if libglade has been
ported or not.

(PS.  I like GTK's LnF better than MSW anyways :-))

Sawfish (a window manager intended for use with GNOME) has an "Aqua"
theme that looks similar to Mac OS X.  (GTK is themeable, BTW)
