This feature is already on my ToDo list, but had a to low priority to be included in 0.2. :)

I'd really like to know how to get a handle on this kind of thing but find it difficult to know where to begin.
Sure. I'm using Eclipse with the PyDev plugin (http://pydev.org) and Glade (http://glade.gnome.org). Glade is a UI-Designer for GTK that stores the UI-Layout in a XML-file that can be read by the application to create the user interface. But I don't use this feature in UrTSB. When I started developing UrTSB I had no real idea how the UI should look like. I just wanted to start with a small table of server ips that than can be extended. Therefore I started working without Glade and just use the GTK Api directly, because it just seems easier to me. But from time to time I used glade for prototyping to try out some layout parameters that then could be set in the code by using the appropriate Api methods.
The rest is just writing code
Normaly I would have choosen a more structured way to develop. Starting to workout a concrete concept for the UI etc. But UrTSB is also a learning project for me. Its the first application I develop with Python and PyGTK (mainly used C/C++ for my private projects in the past and at work I have to use Java).. so this iterative way was also my solution to stepwise get in touch with Python and PyGTK.
