What options are available for C++ GUI development with Ubuntu?

• How about using Glade and C++: http://glade.gnome.org/ Gtk+ interface builder which spits out an XML definition that can be parsed in GTK+. I haven't used it with C++, but it works well with python and GTK.
• If I use Qt I would use QtCreator instead. For GTKMM I would use emacs/gedit/anjuta or eclipse with pkg-config plugin. In my experience i found Gtkmm more close to STL and C++ in general, you can also use boost in some places. Qt is a more complete framework which provides things that are also available on boost and STL. Try both and see what you like better.
• If you're using QT, then http://kdevelop.org/ should be a strong contender. It has both a code-centric IDE as well as a GUI "builder" interface. A very recent version is available in the universe repositories. Kdevelop also works as an IDE for many other languages.
