1. Never heard of it, but I'll check it out if it exists, maybe I can
reuse some code or improve it or even build on top of it.

Looking further into it I actually remember now what it is, just last
time I checked the bindings for GTK+ were outdated and not maintained
and guile-gi was in the early development stage. 
2. I have some interesting ideas that would be a shame to waste. I
actually don't care what displays the GUI, I'm working more on a
modular desktop experience - the set of small GUI (and not only)
programs working together by passing messages.
3. That's my project to learn programming in Guile.

Thanks for mentioning guile-gi, this will speed up my experiments.
