Hehe... they're neat!  Btw:  Screen shots are important for open source 
projects.  It has a sort of psychological effect.  I probably put far too 
much value in them myself, but esthetics matter to me.  I'm not likely to 
bother downloading a program that looks like shit (even though it may be 
technically good).

When it comes to the GUI design, how should we make the editors?  Shall we 
use tabs as Rational Rose uses?  Object Domain also uses tabs, but in a 
slightly different way.

Alternatively, we can use a tree or a list as more and more programs starts 
to do.  See for example the KControlPanel, Eudora preferences, Netscape 
preferences...  It's more scalable than tabs (stacked tabs sucks!), but not 
as familiar.  Anyway, since both cases require each page to be a widget, 
it's no big hassle to convert between them.
