	I would have preferred to use a even higher level libraries 
like KDE or Gnome libs. IMO most of the windows widgets would be supported
in kde and gnome. I had used glade with gnome widgets about a year back
and most of the windows widgets are present in it. There would be one to
one mapping between Gnome/KDE widgets and windows forms widgets.
	I know I am sounding as if its a very simple job :) but I am really
interested in running windows apps on linux.

Happy Hacking,
Ajay
