Yes wxwindows is an incredible cross platform set of libs. I have pondered 
doing this myself but sadly I lack the progaming ability to really get into 
it. I might add I don't know how feasible this would be but a plugin 
architecture allow for the use of wxwindows/python based bindings could be 
very helpfull. In this way it would be easy to have third party plugins using 
wxpython for different tasks. For me this would be great since I am at least 
a little familiar with python. I imagine little things like a daily bible 
verse or what not for these plugins. Not only this but wxwindows is a very 
complete set of libs. 

If you would like more info on it I can supply you with links.
