Python would be good for this.  I have used wxPython, which uses GTK or MFC
depending on the platform, to build a gui connected to mysql and was happy with
the results.   Tk support is strong in Python -- Guido's IDE is done with Tk,
my copy of "Teach Yourself Python in 24 Hours" has three "hours" devoted to Tk
-- so it should be even easier than messing with wxPython.  I think a lot of
Redhat's graphical install stuff is done with Python & Tk....  When Eric
Raymond was here, he specifically mentioned the ability to bang out a quick GUI
as one reason he was so big on Python.
