I know what you mean Chris. I too have a had time mapping GUI tools to Linux
configuration. To this day, my Linux configuration tool of choice is VI. I
think your GUI confusion makes sense. Linux's basic functionalities are
mapped to both by the C libraries and by the commands (and by Perl
functions). I've seen a much less one to one mapping from GUI tools to Linux
functionalities.
