Yes, if it's a graphical gui editor you want, Glade fits the bill. Also look
into LibGlade. Glade saves the gui you created as an XML file. It can then
either generate C/C++/Other code for you, or you can use LibGlade to read
the XML file and have it auto-create it for you on the fly. LibGlade is great
because it allows you to make changes in the gui interface without having
to recompile, and it also makes it easier to write better MVC code keeping
the gui and generic code seperate.
