There meaning of "GUI app on embedded Linux" has different
meanings to different people. You might want to clarify
this a little. That said, .....

One common GUI for embedded Linux is using a framebuffer
and not X windows. This kind of GUI is often found on
low resolution appliances like VCRs or other set-top boxes.
Our book, Linux Appliance Design, has a chapter on how to
build this kind of GUI.

The other type of GUI is for higher resolution (or more
memory) devices such as cell phones or PDAs. These often
use X, GTK, and a full X development environment. Take a
look at open-moko or Maemo for examples for a tutorial on
this kind of GUI.

Creating a GUI interface on Linux is like trying to repair frigidaire parts. If you don't know what are you doing it is going to take you nowhere.
