I used glade for the widgets and the gimp for text and pasting-in
images.

That's a good point, loading all these pictures as uncompressed RGB into
memory will take up a lot of space.  They could be stored internally as
jpg blobs and only decompressed when viewed - I don't know how to do
this or whether it's possible.

ptgui does this, but it might be hard.  I _think_ Joost has written a
lot of that code himself rather than using Helmut's library.
