Hello Daniel,

I suggest using Anjuta[1] for building Gtk applications. This is a full
featured IDE with integrated debugger, Glade based GUI editor and
autotools support. You don't need to have any knowledge of it. Maybe
later if you like to do some advanced stuff, but it's really easy to
get a basic app working. Use the last stable version 2.4.0. Maybe
you've to compile it from source if your distribution doesn't provide
it.

regards
Andreas
