I have had some success writing a little app[1] in Qt Jambi in Clojure, for what it's worth. You can use QCoreApplication/ invokeLater or invokeAndWait to mess with Qt objects from different threads. I have managed to segfault the JVM while poking a running Qt Jambi app from a REPL. I also had some problems with memory leaks [2] for a time. It's not as stable and solid as Swing. It works though, and Qt is a nice framework to work with.
