Sounds wonderful! A note of caution though - is it really possible to
have a small part of the interface built with GtkBuilder while the rest
is hand-built? There is already one .xml file describing part of the
interface (src/denemoui.xml which contains the fossilized built-in
commands), and occasionally I find skeletons rattling around in there.

So I would try out a *tiny* example first just to check that there
aren't some nasty gotchas waiting to pounce. Truly tiny, just a window
with a button that does some single Denemo command (such as
call_out_to_guile("(d-Play)") for example).

 You will need a git branch to do this work on. Perhaps Jeremiah can
arrange that?
