kdevelop is nice i think. Personally, i prefer to use gcc in the shell... but that's me.

I read somthing from the Evil Entity website saying that they promoted Linux Applications over KDE and Gnome Applications.  I like that idea.

Another vote for gcc in the shell.

emacs should suit you fine, just rember C-x C-c closes a file and gives you the option of saving and exiting or just exiting, thats the extent of my emacs knowledge. it does have pretty gode stuff for c++ though like code beutifying and keeping track of {}'s, []'s, and ()'s and other things like that

if you are going to use emacs, and you haven't used it before, set aside an hour or two to do the tutorial. you'll be hopelessly at sea if you don't.
To start the tutorial, type 'Ctrl-H' then 'T'. Then just read the tutorial and follow the instructions.

I favor FOX (http://www.fox-toolkit.org)  for graphical design. This is one of the best graphical libraries I've ever come across. Unlike almost every other graphical library, FOX provides for the updating of all the widgets, so you don't have to keep writing code that does nothing but update widgets. Secondly, widgets and subroutines aren't determined till run time, as opposed to keying event handlers to widgets at compile time. That means that you can change event handlers while the app runs. This gives FOX a flexibility that's lacking in something like Qt Designer. (Not only that, but the executables tend to be much smaller.)  However, FOX doesn't come with a point and click window designer like Qt's. I don't miss that at all    (http://tongue.gif)
