Is there any type of GUI builder that will allow me to create windows and such with minimal coding?

I'll be interested in hearing other responses to this thread. The only one I know of is Glade at http://glade.gnome.org/. It works on gtk. I haven't had the time to learn much about it. On the surface it seems somewhat functional - but that's about it.

Anyone else know of others?

I don';t know what your definition of "minimal coding" is, but QT designer/KDevelop are pretty good - they support a wide variety of coding capabilities; some stuff you don't need any code at all, but others, need alot (the entire KDE was built in this apparently! :))

Python's EasyGUI? depends of your definition of "GUI", "minimal coding" and what kind of functionality you expect to get with that minimal coding.

I think you just want to install Glade from the repositories, using Applications > Add/Remove. This lets you "draw" an interface. It's pretty easy to then use Python to make it functional. For getting started check out this link:

FLTK is a very simple and easy to use GUI, it is fine for small projects:

And it has a graphic builder called FLUID:

You can develop GUI apps in minutes.

If you just want common gui elements, like textboxs, input boxs, small menu's, directory listings, and other common simple GUI tasks, EasyGUI with Python is very easy.
