Oh, ton would hate that.  That would definately be bad.

But I pulled up my Bluewater GUI code, and my Image UI control, and I've 
discovered that my video card can handle three pixmaps at good speed, 
but after that slows considerably.  I did a lot of tests, and the speed 
problem is purely OpenGL.

A solution would be to have each image have an associated text file, 
maybe image.jpg would have image.jpg.txt, which would contain a written 
description of that image.  then MakeHuman could operate in text mode.

Also, some parts of the GUI that are currently image-based could be done 
by simpler OpenGL commands.

Oh, and I tried to get Bluewater working in the 3D view (it would've 
been a lot better then what he's using right now) but alas, I could 
not.  There just isn't any easy way to preserve the global dictionary. . 
. :(
