Simple API that works everywhere. With little setup. For free.

As others have mentioned, LTk is probably the easiest to get started
with.

An alternative, if you are happy with running on the JVM, is to use
the java-based lisp implementation ABCL http://common-lisp.net/project/armedbear/
You get access to the Java GUI libraries, such as Swing, and there is
a related editor, J.

I second this: very nice API! And there is not too much efforts to
make it works everywhere.

There was some experimental project:
http://code.google.com/p/cl-forms/
Lisp wrapper around some Html-Rendering library (terrainformatica.com)
I use this lib from .NET for web look and feel GUI.
But there are no Grid and ReBar controls - the only things I miss.
