  Just to clarify this point: the goal is to produce a graphical UI
that's functionally equivalent to the curses one, by which I mean that
any task you can do from the curses UI can also be done from the
graphical one.  However, the way you go about doing it might be
different.

  In the long term I expect that the curses UI will incorporate some of
the design decisions in the GTK+ UI, once we see what works and what
doesn't.
