Cool. apt-cach show in Debian suggests you are the maintainer for both
Ghemical and PyMol packages.
Ghemical 1.00-2 is dependent on  libgtk1.2 hence looks dead ugly anyway.

gchempaint ... whats that?

But I think I get your point.
IMO we should build on the good looks of Gtk2+ and the unique artistry
of structural biology.
A bit like the stuff at
http://arttech.about.com/library/bl_geis_archives2.htm

If anyone can take a lead on organising the Gtk2+ collection of software
this will be a worthwhile project. Count me in.
There is a Gnome IRC channel for GnomeArt where help should be around.
