Yeah, pretty much every fancy web page designer these days uses
graphic tools like Dreamweaver or whatever.  It's completely
reasonable to expect something similar for GUI's.  I've played around
with Glade for a few minutes and it seems pretty nice, though I
haven't done anything serious with it since my own apps have (so far)
been ok with slapdash-looking tkinter gui's.
