I would recommend Tk.  You can get a lot of UI built in a very few lines of
code, it just happens to be cross platform, and it is already installed on
every major Linux platform.  Tk is bound to Tcl, Python, and even Perl
(although Tcl remains my favorite), so you can use your preferred high level
scripting language to speed development.
