Actually, somebody has tried this.  It is known as "cursing GTK."  I 
haven't tried it out, mainly because the person who was working on this 
wasn't exactly fluent in English, and I couldn't comprehend exactly what 
one would need to do to get it working.  In any case, the web site for 
this is at: http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~pavel/cursed/cursed.html.  As 
I said, the English is pretty bad, but apparently, somebody with a lot of 
patience might be able to make use of this.
