As far as just the linux distro goes, debian is probably not the best choice for newbies. I'd pick Ubuntu (which is based on debian) as a great introductory distribution. Using it's GUI package manager you should be able to install all the compiler tools and libraries to do coding for GTK and other things. Kdevelop, Anjuta, or even Eclipse are great IDEs. For GUI development in GTK, Glade is the best tool for doing layouts (Anjuta might even embed it).
