There are several 3rd party front-ends available... Why not pick one
that would be "good enough" and make it the official one? Why
re-invent the wheel?

QT is availble on Unix, Windows, OSX. I don't know about GTK, though I

I think it would be neat, but I'm fairly confident that any graphica
toolkit allows you to map some bitmaps to any of the buttons of the
gui, don't they?
