Well, this idea of reimplementing pd's gui came up now quite some times 
... and there were already some trials (in qt, karma, desiredata ...).

I think the problem is that one would have to communicate with Miller 
_before_ starting to do that, if he could think of integrating this into 
pd ...
And I don't think that this is such a small project or would be so easy 
... ;)

However, I think that problem is that nobody knows, what Miller wants 
here. He said at the pd-convention 2004 that tcl/tk was/is only a 
temporal solution ...
