Another route might be to use a web browser with a HTML GUI on the
desktop. Use Seaside to produce HTML and manage state, scriptaculous
for some extra effects.

Further down that road you can create an interface just like Mozilla /
Firefox by using the Gecko layout engine where widgets are specified
in XML (XUL)

Callbacks could be done as local HTTP requests, again. Using Gecko
would also give you vector graphics (SVG).
