I play in a Gnome environment, I use Glade for the UI, and libglade with
python.  Talk about easy...

	self.wTree = glade.XML ("gearbox.glade")	
	self.siglist = {"on_about1_activate": self.about,
			"on_reload_cog1": self.reload,
			"on_app1_destroy_event": self.close_down
		<<snip other widgets >>
			}
	self.wTree.signal_autoconnect (self.siglist)

And thats it, UI done and taking to my app...  Now just waitng for my
mistakes :o)

For the actual editing i Use moleskine, it's just a text editor for
gnome, but opens each file in a tab, and uses the scintilla text widget,
so has text highliting, completion etc, and you can create your own
"langauge descriptions" for the higlighting...

Then I use a python DBI module for talking to PG, and pgaccess for
making and playing with the DB, mostly.

I often find Lego usefull.  I get the bucket, dump it on the floor and
then fight with the kids for the blocks I want...  Solves a lot of
problems that pop up :o)
