I just realized I got lost in there somewhere: the Tcl examples /should/ 
port OK, with caveat that PLACE will require a little new glue and yes I 
still may have done an imperfect job of Just Exposing Tcl/Tk.

Tk pack is pretty powerful, and even the place mechanism has some cute 
bells and whistles. It is not clear to me how much gui-geometry offers 
you over those unless you are really planning on having some fun with 
dynamic shifting GUIs, in which case yeah.

I think it comes down to what I said last time: if you can do without 
the widgets, cello is great fun. A bear to build the first time, but 
folks here should be able to help. I believe Frank left a roadmap 
somewhere, at least in a cells-devel mailing. (We should add it to the 
doc in cvs, I htink.)
