We are involved in using X in a Common Lisp environment.
Fortunately we are able to develop on Symbolics, but the 
the resulting code must be immediately ported to a SUN
(currently SUN 3) running Allegro CL and the X-Server. 
We just started (quite successfull) to experiment with 
the Foreign Function Call facility of Allegro CL which 
let us use C routines within Lisp. 
Does anybody know how to exchange window objects between
Lisp and C? Are "Selections" suitable?
