Hi.  I'm Joe Garbarino at ERIM in Ann Arbor, Mi.

There is an interface builder currently available for X.  It's called TAE+
and is put out by the people at Goddard Space Flight Center.  It's
currently in beta test but works very well for us.  It's currently using the
Xrlib User Interface Toolbox, but V4.0, due out this summer, will use the
X Toolkit architecture.

We have used the system extensively on our Sun 3/60s and have been very
happy with it (excepting the fact that the color X server available for
the Sun is a bit slow, but liveable).  It currently generates C code,
but will also generate Ada.

If you are interested, let me know and I can tell you how to get in touch
with the TAE Support Office.
