No, it's "official" GUI was tk-based -- not very slick, but easy to

change and not resource-hungry. They also distributed a GTK+-2-based

GUI. A lot of the effort behind the new version seems to have gone

into the Java GUI and graphics -- I hope it was worth the trouble,

but I suspect otherwise.


We'll find out soon, hopefully!
