Wow! Thanks, Les.  Like Casey Stengel said: "It's deja vu all over again".
In the '88-'92 timeframe I directed a group that built yet another
graphical UI toolkit in CLOS as part of a GIS for the oil patch, called
"Sorcerer's Apprentice".  We looked at most of the systems your message
mentioned.  I guess my subconsious was just blocking out that information
:-)

Now the critical question is: Can people who worked with those systems
recall the "lessons learned" and describe them here for Boris' benefit in
his design of Cheese?

PS: I love the web.  A quick search in the "subject" categories in Alta
Vista led directly to a bunch of CLIM info, including:

A new research project on "CLIM 3.0":

The CLIM 2.0 user's guide:

probably want to take a look at this.

The following is from:
     http://mx.nsu.ru/FAQ/F-lisp/Q1-7.html
It mentions CLIM and a few others... this should jog your memory!
