I know it's popular and I kind of get why, but I personally prefer non-browser
interfaces myself. If only to not have to start up my browser, which is
overburdened with open tabs, only to do some little thing.

The one link to a mailing list for cells-gtk3 I found is dead. There is one for
cells-gtk, though. As the 3 everywhere else is always explicit I'll assume this
one's for cells with gtk2, but the last entry was in January 2014, which is
after cells-gtk3 came out, iirc, so there's some hope. Although not much.

Yeah, I guess I'll have to do that. Or something similar. I guess I'm going to
reduce it to the minimal code that still shows me a working listbox.

If cells-gtk3 turns out to be unworkable for me I'll try Celtk and after that
I'll probably try LTk, but not using cells for the GUI would be kind of sad.
