Thanks Steve. I've located the C source for (pre-Gtk2.0 version of) GtkDial, but have not found the PyGtk wrapper.  I would like to get the wrapper (Python/C source?), so I would at least have a chance of porting the widget to recent versions of Gtk/PyGtk in the future (and provide hope to my client that analog gauges are in the works).  Any idea where I can find the PyGtk wrapper, even though it won't work with Gtk2.0?

Thanks for the suggestion (Alex) of using Glade to get a screenshot, but the Glade 2.0.1 I have does not seem to have an analog dial/speedometer style widget.  I don't think I'm familiar enough with Glade to know how to create my own widgets (if that was your suggestion) in a short amount of time, though I will certainly learn more about Glade.
