This brings up a really good point about GUI GUI Builders: They tend to 
discourage the use of custom widgets, which is a really a bad thing. 
That's why I don't use them. Maybe someone will developer one that works 
really well with custom widgets some day... I'm guessing that would be a 
tool specifically developed for, and written in, python. That way you 
could easily add your custom widget to the "pallet" of available 
widgets, and it could be a first class citizen.
