  A few years ago I forked Gtk*Ruler widgets for gnumexp, a scientific
application.  You might (or not) be interested in using it:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/numexp/gnumexp/src/xygraph/nxpruler/

 Features:
  - Python bindings included;
  - Rulers are 'active', you can drag them like a scrollbar;
  - You can also 'stretch' a ruler, to scale the associated view;
  - The scale numbers can be arbitrarily small or large float numbers,
and are displayed in engineering notation (%g format);
  - It has a logarithmic mode.

 If you do use it, you'd have to include it in your package, as I've no
intention of packaging it separately from gnumexp.

  Otherwise, you can continue to use GtkRuler for the time being.  There
is no way for it to disappear before gtk+ 3.0.

  Regards.
