IB's nibs are in XML, no?  Why wouldn't it be possible to write 
something to turn IB stuff into GTK, wxWindows, etc descriptions of a 
UI?  If the destination thing doesn't have a template system, it could 
automagically generate the python or C code to create said interface.  I 
wouldn't rule it out entirely.  IB is a powerful tool and would be a 
good thing to use until something open and cross-platform is developed 
to take its place.  In any case, a conduit to/from IB would be a good 
thing anyways.
