Hello again, Rupert:
After some experimentation and searching I found a gtk-based approach
that looks interesting and it seems to work without errors so far. I'm
including the websites I found in case you might still have an interest
in GUI toolkits for common lisp (and/or other other ways to access the gtk).
http://leonardoce.interfree.it/gtkserver/index.htmlhttp://www.gtk-server.org/
I also tried cl-gtk2, but parts of it (gtk-glext) wouldn't load with
SBCL 1.0.48 and slime and I didn't feel I was up to the task discovering
why.
I have not yet tried cells-gtk, and I may not get to it if I find that
gtk-server works out OK.
Thanks again for pointing out some choices that led me to discovering
gtk-server.
Paul
