Hi, there are some papers about “functional reactive programming” out there, which you might find interesting. FranTk [0] and, developed more recently, Grapefruit [1], are functional reactive GUI toolkit for Haskell, for example.
On the other hand, Gtk2Hs [2], probably the most popular GUI framework for Haskell, mainly employs, guess what, conventional, imperative callbacks. As it seems to me that Haskellers are the ones that try most to write purely functional code, I conclude that this is likely the most pragmatic way of writing GUIs right now. I bet that further research is being done in this area, though.
