[Fedora Robotics] p/s/g demo client program

I've been asked to write up a demo client program for player/stage/gazebo 
that we might could use in a robotics livecd to show off the capabilities 
of player.  I'm still not 100% sure what exactly we're looking for, but 
here's a rough description on what I'm thinking about now:

I'll design a small gui interface similar to that of playerv.  Users will 
be able to control the robot through this interface, using either the 
keyboard or mouse (don't know which yet).  If I have time/the ability 
to, I'll add in support for a gripper and things like that.  I'll also 
write up a few small client programs that autonomously navigate the robot 
based on sensor data.  In the gui, the user can have to option to use one 
of those programs to control the robot.

I realize the above sounds pretty similar to playerv, but I can't think of 
what else to do that would meet our needs as I understand them.  Any 
suggestions/comments/critiques would be greatly appreciated.
