There are lots of references to PyGTK classes in there. Is there a
way to select Qt instead of GTK?

Hacking the code a bit, I can run the hello_loader.py example. The items
on the left do indeed overlap. It looks like the minimum size of the
labels aren't being respected for some reason.

Yes, there are ways to relate the height of a widget to its width, and
there may well be a way to do that for a standard text widget, but it
might involve some experimentation with the underlying text document.
