There's no GUI editor. However, there is a nice little assistance tool. From
the login screen ONLY, you can invoke the GUI Preview tool by hitting
alt-ctrl-T (or cmd-ctrl-T on a Mac). It will bring up a dialog that you can use
to display any of our dialog boxes, in two languages at once if you want. If
you configure it, you can also have it open the dialog file in your text
editor, and the "show rectangles" checkbox makes it easy to see which parts of
the dialog have which names.
If you edit a dialog, you can show and hide it, and it will reload. So you
should be able to experiment with a layout rather easily; it's not a live
graphical editor, but it makes it pretty easy to edit. Just realize the dialogs
are not "live", and so sometimes things won't look right, or may have
overlapping fields because only one of them is visible at any given time.
