[DUG] Google Desktop

[Alistair George]

Hi all.
Time to think of a new project, and I would like 2do something for the 
Google Desktop, but alas, it needs stuff like C# with Microsoft .net 
framework etc.
Question; as a developer do any of you have any suggestions on the 
simplest method to program for the Google Desktop so that the interface 
works with the Google Desktop toolbar (not a separate program). Bearing 
in mind I have almost forgotten C++ and prefer not to use the .net 
framework.
Thanks,
Alistair.
