First identify what programming language you intend to use - Python, C/C++, Perl, Java, etc. Next pick a UI toolkit - GTK, Qt, etc. I saw you mentioned PyGTK, so that pretty much translates to Python with GTK. Once you've learnt your programming language of choice, then start learning the basic concept of the UI toolkit which you're going to use. Different toolkits have their own way (concept) of drawing the screen. Once you're familiar with the fundamental concept, you can start creating your UI. Take things step by step, only then it's not going to overwhelm you.
