ANN: Guis 1.4 release (GTK2 scriptable widget server)

[yaipa h.]

Basile,

Nice work, I don't know when I'll get a chance to try it, but I like
the model. I've been thinking as of late, if you can have web servers
why not GUI widget servers? Guess I now know the answer. You can.

So when do we get the 'drag-n-drop' forms. ;^)

Cheers,

  --Alan
