Hmmm I think it could be done using the libglade library.
One of the ideas behind libglade is that you can expose different User
interfaces easily loading one .glade or another one.
Perhaps we should gladify (exists that word? :-P) GST a little more and
use different .glade files as we do with backend.
Just a suggestion...
