I spent some time on VIB in a class I'm teaching this semester. On the
page http://www.cs.arizona.edu/classes/cs451/handouts.htm you can find my
slides. If you look under "Full Sets of Slides", the "Icon Graphics" set
has about forty VIB-related slides. On the same page, Assignment 9
(w/solns) has two VIB-based programs.
The WP-generated PDF files give some browser plug-ins heartburn, but if you
download the PDFs things work fine.
Also, there are many VIB examples in the IPL under gprogs.
It's my understanding (and experience) that text fields don't work well on
a top-level interface and are thus best used in dialogs. (One example of a
problem: there's no notion of focus -- they get keystrokes iff the pointer
is over them.)
