pyGTK or QT will be propably easiest.

If it is just to simply:
1- chose a logfile
2- display it's content
consider Zenity or Xdialog.

Given the lack of details, you should try to leverage what you already know. What languages do you already have knowledge? As stated in a previous thread where you asked a similar question:
  • Given that you already have Java installed, consider Java Swing which is the collection of classes installed with Java which allows GUI programming.
  • Tkinter is the GUI class hierarchy installed with Python by default. It leverages the Tk GUI interface through Python. This is the same Tk interface leveraged by Perl/Tk. If I recall correctly, Ruby has bindings for Tk as well.
  • Qt is yet another GUI library which can be called from a number of languages -- C++, Perl, Python, Ruby, etc.
  • wxWidgets is a popular C++ cross-platform GUI library. Bindings exist for at least Python & Ruby. There may be others.

I had thought of Zenity but due to the complexity of my project I think Zenity may not good enough to perform some tasks.

I only know 2 languages which is Java and C. I think i need to install Netbeans but I never use NetBeans before. Well, I'm not sure there is GUI programming in C.......

Not in the language proper, but GTK has C bindings as does Qt

If you're suggesting so many languages that the OP doesn't know which use Tk, then why not Tcl?
