That is great! Thank you so much for the direct access and willing to 
develop this further.

Right now I am being pulled into different directions at work but I will 
get back to this in a couple of weeks. Though I am a noob at D right 
now, I am dreaming of eventually building some killer apps in D. :)

Another reason I try to avoid external dependencies is, most of my end 
users (colleagues and clients) are not very computer savvy. For example, 
I cannot ask them to install Gtk+ on their computers.

I understand the minigui is incomplete at this time, but the basic 
things are working great already. It is pretty fast and stable.
And I am good at testing and asking for features that would be useful 
for all :)

I'll be in touch through emails. thanks.
