GTK/GNOME:
For building user interfaces you should give GLADE a try. You just click your
GUI together and let it generate code for it or save it in a xml format you
can dynamically load at runtime.
For help in building widgets or bonobo components you should have a look at
GOB (GTK Object Builder). You embed the code for your widget in some language
similar to Java or C++ (the code itself has to be in C/C++), and GOB generates
all you need to create new widgets itself. (Poor explanation, I know ;-) ).
Just have a look at its manual.

Qt/KDE:
Trolltechs Qt-Designer is a really useful dialog builder. By default it only
supports Qt classes, but there are templates for KDE Widgets.
Qt-Designer is delivered with Qt.
I don't know if there are tools for helping you build components; just try
the KDE project homepage (I think its www.kde.org).

Hope this helps
