[Eric] Gui development in linux.

[rob]

Guys,I am looking to do a form application, (ie interface heavy).  I have
looked at python, done some java.
I am tempted to go java, as netbeans allows you to draw a form easily and
put code behind it.
I have extensive vb experience and powerbuilder but want to use linux.
GUI apps for python seem overly complicated and a pain in the neck.  Am I
missing anything?  
I am looking for a language and environment I can use similar to VB.  Is
Mono any good (with perhaps kylix)

Thanks
Robert
