We took a look at it with a mind to making it a Qt or KDE app, but from a 
brief examination it appeared that the UI and transaction layer logic were 
horribly intermixed so making it not Gtk was going to be a huge 
burden.  However, if all you are interested in is having it run under 
whatever libraries and get the applications you are interested in, there 
shouldn't be any real problem in doing it.  The limiting factor is someone 
who will host the applications and data and get them packaged up as needed 
- a non-trivial thing.
