  My own experience with Swing (early this year) were that it was just
dog slow and made the process much bigger than it should have been.
This was on a barely-supported system for Sun:  Solaris 2.6 on SPARC.
  The jTkinter page makes it look promising, but I don't have any time
to play with Jython these days.
