wxHaskell
(whose API and visual appearance I prefered) has for years been
incompatible with GHCi, in that the second time I open a top-level
window,
the host process (GHCi) dies abruptly.

* Am I mistaken about the current status? I.e., is there a solution for
Haskell GUI & graphics programming that satisfies the properties I'm
looking for (cross-platform, easily buildable, GHCi-friendly, and
OpenGL-compatible)?
* Are there people willing and able to fix this situation? My own
contributions would be to test and to share high-level composable and
efficient GUI and graphics libraries on top of a working foundation.
- wxHaskell is now actively maintained; several people have contributed
new functionality and solutions to bugs. I hope there will be more people
to help squash bugs, extend functionality and make the installation
procedure easier.
- The problems with GHCi will probably be solved with GHC 7.8.
- OpenGL is supported
