Hi,
Yes graphical interface are quite different. One of the objectives of 
graveman is of
being easily able to function with others windowmanagers without

Of course there are no problem to share code or ideas.

At the beginning I had also tried to use libburn, but this lib was not 
enough complete  to manage to quickly
and easily release a software using it.
