Ah yes, but is there really? For example, I did a search of the TOC of GTK+ Reference Manual:

for the word "data", and there's apparently no widget which is explicitly tied to databases. So in GTKs case, for instance, it looks like one has to roll one's own solution, rather than just using one out of the box.
There isn't, IMHO, anything with the polish of (say) Microsoft Access, or even Microsoft SQL Server's less brilliant interfaces. Some things Microsoft *can* do well, it's a shame they didn't just stick to the knitting.
<shameless plug>Though it's certainly not anywhere near the polish of Access, you should check out Dabo. It's designed from the ground up to be a database application framework, and is on its way to achieving that goal. Right now you still have to do all the UI stuff in code, but we're just starting to develop the visual UI Designer. Stay tuned!</shameless plug>
