Tough call. Cells-gtk got a lot of work when Peter Hildebrandt jumped 
in, but it's not clear he got itall merged with the mainline so you 
might have to reach out to him for the latest/greatest.

I like Tcl/Tk over GTk so I am partial to Celtk.

Frank Goenninger has recently been cleaning up Cello so that might not 
be completely unapproachable. OpenGL is pretty, but you don't get the 
widget sets of Tk or Gtk.
