Maybe you'll be interested in 4IM, as long as you are ready to learn a
dialect of Forth.
As of today, it is statically linked with a GUI C library named
GraphApp, which allows you to build more-or-less complex GUIs, both
under Windows and Linux.
I'm currently working on using dynamically linked libs. It should let
you use Xlib for instance provided you can write the wrapper
functions.
It is already working at home but is not yet available online; you can
take a look at 4IM here:
