What programming language you want to use for your application? The 'traditional' gtk/gnome programming language is C, but there are also bindings for (at least) Python, Perl and C++. There are plenty of tutorials online to get you started, e.g. http://www.gtk.org/tutorial (for C) http://www.pygtk.org/pygtk2tutorial/index.html (for Python) http://gtk2-perl.sourceforge.net/doc/gtk2-perl-tut/ (for Perl) You might also want to investigate the Glade UI builder that's part of JDS. This will allow you to design your GUI and, using the libglade API, load it into your application at runtime. There are quite a few Glade tutorials online, although admittedly not many for glade-3, which is the version that is currently in Nevada/vermillion.
