MrEd (http://www.plt-scheme.org/software/mred/) provides a nice (although
simplistic) windowing toolkit for the mzScheme. I remember toying with that
during my Lisp days. 

I remember toying with the Guile-Gtk too. I do not remember any details on
the issue.

However, in these days I would go for Kawa - scheme->java byte code
compiler. (http://www.gnu.org/software/kawa/Restrictions.html)

There are many options with regard to scheme + UI combo. I would consider
ease of deployment, the audience and the time to develop before settling on
a single tool.
