I used to use this combination regularly. IME the difficulties are primarily with getting a working gtk+osx build. Once that was accomplished, gtk2hs was a straightforward install, provided you build from the src repo with the -quartz flag. Recently I've switched to using macports gtk2 with the quartz, no-x11 variant, which also uses native cocoa. This is much more reliable than gtk+osx. I don't know if it supports Glade though. My biggest problem with wx is that there's no support for building 64-bit wx applications on OS X. If that were fixed I might prefer it. John Lato
