I wrote an SQL editor that heavily uses Gtk::GladeXML (including custom
widgets).  Unfortunatly I don't have access to a Linux box (my laptop is dead
and I am currently forced to use Lose95 at work) so I can't updated it use Gtk2.
 As far as I know the only changes are as folows

1.  Change Gtk:: to Gtk2::
2.  Port the Gtk::Text references to Gtk2::TextView references
3.  Port the Gtk::CListModel references to Gtk2::ListModel and
    Gtk2::TreeView references
4.  Possibly fiddle with some of the Gtk2::GladeXML code 

Number 3 would be eased if somebody would tie Gtk2::ListModel to a Perl array. 
I was working on this when my laptop became unusable.  

If anyone wants to give it a shot the code is located at
