Summary: what real-time lisps, standard graphics, and oo systems are available?

I too am interested in real-time garbage-collected systems.  Which ones are
available, which ones are in the wings?  (is there a forthcoming version
of Scheme, T, or Common to run on UNIX systems in general?)

Also, I am interested in interfaces to X windows and graphics toolkits that
are somewhat standardized (either across vendors, or from one vendor for all
of the major UNIX workstations -- VAXen, SUNs, Apollos, etc.

Preferably I'd like to see these features in a nice object-oriented system.
Something like real-time CommonLoops with graphics.  Any info?

(By the way, the applications I have in mind are sophisticated automatic
program animation, including animation of dynamically allocated data
structures.)

Interesting followups to the net, marginal ones to me via e-mail, please.
