Take a look at CLX which now comes with every X11 release, I beleive.
This is the standard Lisp to X-toolkit interface.  It offers very
few creature comforts, however, so you have to chrn out tons of
code to make even tiny applications.

We have been playing with various higher-level packages which use
CLX are their lower-level language.  Lately we have been exploring
an item from CMU called "Garnet" which we find very impressive.
It's object oriented and comes with lots and lots of ready-made
gadgets (buttons, sliders, gauges, etc.).  From what I understand,
it's shareware, but you have to get a license for it.  Send
email to bam@a.gp.cs.cmu.edu (Brad Myers) for more information.
