There are many options for GUI programming. 
	XLib is the the lowest level....quite hairy!
	gtk++ is real good but it is purely C
	Try VDK ( Visual Development Kit) which is a wrapper around the
gtk. It is quite similar to VC code, I guess you might be comfortable with
that. They even have a GUI Builder called VDKBuilder...looks promising.

There is also the Trolltech QT libraries ( C++)
The only hitch is that you need to license it for commercial use.

POSIX threads are well supported.
