+1, they are perfect for that, and will be around for a *long* *long*
time.  And I doubt they will ever go away - the web app will change to
be more desktopish.  Gtk already has an experimental HTML canvas
backend, GNOME3 is a canvas controlled via JavaScript, etc...

My advice is to keep it simple.  Gtk/Glade works perfectly well for this
purpose.  The glue code required is trivial.
