It sounds that you might be getting the programming language and GUI
interface confused: the core of the program is written in Fortran, and I
suspect (from what you've written) that GUI part of the program is
probably written in C/C++ with the GUI interface being the Win32 API.

You might be thinking about Go OO (www.http://go-oo.org/), which seems to work
well on a couple of Windows boxes I use. In fact, I think that I can remember
reading somewhere that Ubuntu uses the Go OO code rather than the standard OO
code.

Rik,
I think that the main problem for gamers coming to Linux is that there
isn't any 'big name' games available, unless you want to try using
Wine/Crossover. However, there are games for Linux if you are prepared
look. I bookmarked the following articles some time ago that might be
of interest:

I'm probably stating the obvious here, but if the two bars are a problem, you
can always move everything from the top bar down to the bottom and then delete
the top bar (which is what I have done on my installation). You can also
replace the Gnome Applications/Places/System menus with a combine
