I wonder if this could be done as a module? I don't know enough about Gtk or 
modules to comment on a programming level, but observe that Small Eiffel has 
Gtk bindings. I do recall that someone tried this with an earlier version of 
Squeak and came unstuck at some point.

I quite like the idea of being able to stick Squeak morphs in Gtk. Gtk is a 
really attractive Widget set (IMHO).
