I use Tk. It has a C as well as a Tcl and Perl interfaces. Adding a GUI
in C is very easy. 'Connecting' C variables to Tcl/tk variables (and the
other way around) is simple. I have a near real time data collection app
that has various GUI displays. The variables are maintained in C but are
reflected correctly in the interface. Two or three lines of C code and
you have access to it. You can mix direct C API access with script
access (the script text compiled in your C program if that is your bent)
in your C application.

I know it is not on the current sexy app list, but should that matter?

A good pre-packaging can be found here:

Of course, the original stuff is all BSD-licensed, you you can package
it as you like.
