The classic sort of small GUI programming tool for this sort of job is
TCL/Tk.

http://wiki.tcl.tk/20789

But these days it may be easier to just use a language you know and a
binding to a well known GUI library.

I've seen quite complex programs written using TCL/tk, but GUI
programming is generally a lot harder than it first appears. Not so bad
if you set a few options and launch, the Linux kernel "make xconfig"
used TCL/tk in 2.4 and probably still does, as a result you probably
have it installed on your Linux boxes.
