 I know that you know :-) but I think that reading the above may confuse
people who don't.

 I think the cause is that some controls (most notable tree and status bar)
are not implemented using the GTK widgets. This could be easily changed if
someone really wanted it bad enough though.

 Not at all impossible from what I know about it. There is wxWorkshop too, of

 The XML resources already work, the problem is packaging/makefiles. I don't
know if they're already supportedb y wxPython but they surely will be in
(relatively) near future.
