Great!  We need more Go GUI-related things.  The best I know about is http://mattn.github.com/go-gtk/, but something taking advantage of the rather unique aspects of Go would be great.

Just wanted to pass along this tidbit, from a professor who taught a course in Go, to emphasize the need for something like this from a real-world use-case:

"The teams could choose any language they wanted for the projects.  About half to two-thirds of the projects ended up using Go for their final project.  The rest used mostly Python or Java.  The biggest reason students switched languages was the lack of good GUI tools for Go.  Several that stuck with Go created a client-server architecture with a Java or Python GUI front-end client.  This wasn't surprising for the team that developed a cloud+Android app, but it's a disappointing limitation when moving from purely server apps to GUI apps in Go."
