I'm getting chills typing this message. I've been looking for a simple programming tool to use for mentorship class for a long time.
Here's a requirements page, if anyone has any other suggestions: http://wiki.bworks.org/beginner_programming_tools I found "Geany" which is in the Ubuntu repository. It's a 2 MB GtK-based program, and has the basics that I want for a programming tool to have the students use. It's language-neutral, meaning that you can use different programming languages. I think that you can download language-specific plugins, as well as other plugin goodies. I'm going to be having some fun tonight checking out Geany. I checked out Geany awhile back, but something kept me from keeping up with it. I think that a lot of the GUI developers used it, and I associated it with being a Gtk-development tool. Whee!
