  "ufw" doesn't look very GUI to me.

  Firestarter looks like a typical firewall GUI.  The "Events" tab,
which I presume is an integrated log viewer, is a nice touch.
However, a cursory read of the docs finds it doesn't appear to support
anything but very basic source/destination address/port rules, which
won't help Bill.
