New gui extension

I'm basically finished with "gtools", a gui extension for mercurial. 
The extension provides gtk+ based graphical status and commit dialogs.
Files are displayed in a list that can be sorted, filtered, and
double-clicked to launch diff and editor tools. Right-click context
menus and toolbars provide operations like commit, add, delete, ignore,
remove, revert, and refresh. Files are diff'ed and edited in place
when possible, so you can make changes within external tools and save
them directly back to your working copy.

Screens-shots are: [1] The commit dialog under WinXP. [2] The status 
dialog under Ubuntu Linux.

Before I share this with everyone, I'd like to find a few people who
are willing to test it. Preferably several people running windows and
several running linux (no OS X version until gtk+ is more stable on the
Mac). If you're willing to try gtools, please reply on or off list and
I'll send you patches or expose my repository along with setup info.
