 Standards for Graphical Interfaces
 ==================================
 
    When you write a program that provides a graphical user interface,
 please make it work with X Windows and the GTK toolkit unless the
 functionality specifically requires some alternative (for example,
 "displaying jpeg images while in console mode").
 
    In addition, please provide a command-line interface to control the
 functionality.  (In many cases, the graphical user interface can be a
 separate program which invokes the command-line program.)  This is so
 that the same jobs can be done from scripts.
 
    Please also consider providing a CORBA interface (for use from
 GNOME), a library interface (for use from C), and perhaps a
 keyboard-driven console interface (for use by users from console mode).
 Once you are doing the work to provide the functionality and the
 graphical interface, these won't be much extra work.
