I blogged a little about Qt Jambi + Clojure recently [1], for what it's worth. I found it very easy to set up and use, on Gentoo Linux and on Vista. I'm using it to build an app in my spare time and it's working well. I would be interested to see anyone write up a HOWTO for using a GUI builder tool with Clojure, for Swing or Qt or any other framework. It is a bit tedious to do by hand. I agree though, for a book it might be better to stick with native Java stuff. No sense needlessly complicating matters with external libraries. Qt Jambi had a couple of odd quirks that I was unable to figure out. (Randomly killing my Clojure process under SLIME for example.)
