I know this tends to be subjective and I dont want a flame war but
can anyone suggest the best language to learn to do this with?

I'm using Centos 4 if that's at all relevant.

Use C, especially since you are already familiar with it. You have
one of the best C compilers available in gcc. The GUI part is
another matter, but I am sure some libraries exist to give you easy
access to X via Gnome or KDE.
