I would have to agree with Rich. I've used Glade for a couple of small projects,
and it is very nice for putting together a UI. Granted, it is not a full IDE,
and it only supports GTK+ and GNOME widgets, but it is a quick easy way to
get familiar with how things work. Glade will give you a nice autoconf/automake
environment for you project. It will right C or C++ (and a few others I think)
source code for you inteface. It's then up to you to fill-in all the callbacks,
and the rest of the program for that matter, with code that actually does something.
