I want to help the linux community.

/prog/
I have seen a gap in the software available for linux, and think I might be able to help. I don't want to go into what software it is, but it's something that involves a lot of commandline tools. I want to develop a GUI so the average joe can use this and it will be another thing that windows doesn't have the advantage on.
Thing is, I've not done much programming on linux apart from bash scripting, and have no GUI experience at all on it. I've installed Kdevelop (don't hate) on Ubuntu (don't hate), but I don't know what to apt-get to install the libraries that I can use for building GUI apps. Anyone know?
Thanks in advance.

+1 for this.
When someone is using, say, gcc and knows there's a switch that does what he wants to do but can't remember it, being able to type -<TAB> to see a list of options is much more useful than having to page through a bunch of tabs with checkboxes in a GUI.
And if he doesn't know if there is such a switch, reading the man pages (where he can also search effectively) is much better than reading the descriptions you're undoubtedly going to write next to those checkboxes in the hopes that he'll find the right one before he dies of old age.
