I see you are getting the idea. 

All I am interested in is managing data *using* the GTK toolkit. I don't
want to "build" a GUI, as such, for an application at all. I want to
manage the data with it which, in turn, will cause a gui to be
created.  

Once the framework is finished, I want as little to do with any gui that
I can get away with - whilst allowing the "power of perl" to give me the
opportunity to interfere when I really have to.
