I dont think Glade is a good idea. If the bibisect UI is sufficiently simple
(and it should be), Tkinter would be the most simple crossplatform toolkit that
is available everywhere -- even if it is somewhat ugly on some platforms.

As for using Python instead of Java: I based that on the assumption that (at
least in the LibreOffice community) there are more people willing to work on
the first than on the second. I might be wrong.

@Florian: So if there are not a few people showing up saying "I would help out
with Python, but unlikely with Java" (which did not happen yet), just go ahead with
Java, if you prefer that. It was based on my gut feeling, and gut feelings
might be wrong.

Best,

Bjoern
