These are both good points.  It's tough to get motivated to fix shoddy
design when there's "new" stuff to program.  It's also tough (for me, at
least) to be real creative with the environment currently available on
linux - even though I love rhide.

I have a suggestion.  Since you're using gtk and the win32 dll's are
available why not do this initial development under win32?  FPIDE is pretty
nice and I've even been using Delphi as an editor for fpc code generation.
The end result should compile on either platform anyway (I'm able to
compile and run lazarus on win32).
