The only thing I had problems with porting a GUI between Windows and Linux is that the screen resolutions were different meaning my good work on my home PC which fitted perfectly, was left with loads of spare screen space in Linux.

I got round this by making the GUI components size relative rather than absolute. Easy to do by just getting the screen dimensions of the system you are using via the toolkit and then making buttons etc a percentage of these proportions. Worked a treat.

Either is great. The choice between these 2 languages
should have more to do with what the app is going to do.

Java is probubly the easiest since you hava a much better
chance that machines will have java than tcl.(At least on
ms windows machines which lets face it are unfortunately
most common.) If this is not an issue then there is also
Python***
Ruby*****(very cool and mondo technoidishly obscure. Always
a good thing.)
