I'll try xfontsel.  Useful, not too complicated, ugly (Xaw menus
really suck).  Porting it to gtk seems a reasonable task.

I have also considered xbmbrowser, but it's not as useful as xfontsel.
Besides, it uses the Xaw box widget, and I have not seen a replacement
for it in gtk.  (No, I'm not yet ready to write a new gtk widget.)

I agree with Josh that it would be nice to port Xfig, a very useful
program with an ugly interface; but it looks too hard for a first try
at gtk programming (for me at least).

Thanks for all the suggestions.
