I wrote a small perl hack, although it unfortunatly uses Xforms; 
however I did modify the widget look a bit, so it isn't too ugly. It
didn't
do everything you want but it did have some nice features, specifically
it 
would run Windows applications /w wine... It was poorly written and
would have
to be rewritten to use gtk (I should know, I did a port but lost it). 

anyway if it are interested here it is:
http://perl.linuxbox.com/download/

maybe someday I will fix that program, put a gtk interface on it and
rewrite in C :)
