I am a computer science major who has used Linux increasingly over my college years. I would like to get started programming in linux. I have programmed a little with linux before, but i really want to get my hands dirty now with GTK+, C++, Mono etc. Is there a decent GUI building IDE comparable to Visual Studio? Anjuta maybe??
Yes i have started programming this way with gedit and syntax highlighting turned on and have started making make files like crazy, but what about windows, buttons, etc., non terminal apps. What is the best way to get started with those??

The same way...you don't need a GUI to write GUI apps! In fact they're more a hinderance. Use vi (or gedit, whatever's your poison) and actually LEARN how to place windows and widgets without having to drop them. Your code will be cleaner for it and you'll have precise control over placement.
