Agreed; I've set up family's machines so then they can go manage the pics using nautilus.hey plug in the camera, get an indicator when the command line app is done transferring them to an appropriatly tiemstamped directory, and
then they can go manage the pics using nautilus. This turned out to be much easier to teach than yet another (and IIRC sometimes unstable) GUI application. Only way to improve on it really would be a graphical progress indicator.

Take a look at zenity then -- it provides you with a way to display a gtk2 progress bar gui from the command line or a script.
