[ase-users] Python 2+3 compatible ase-gui

[Peterson, Andrew]

This will be great to have ase-gui be more compatible.

A drawback I noticed immediately is the look: at least in ubuntu, the
current version was themed just like any other ubuntu application and feels
"right". The proposed version doesn't use the system theme and looks like
antiquated software. I've attached screenshots. Also, I recall that this
was discussed on the list when TKinter was proposed as solution for
compatibility with Anaconda.

(I hate to complain about aesthetics, but I think it matters. Particularly
as new users try ASE, if they see something that looks archaic they might
reasonably conclude that our package is not very sophisticated...)
