Hi

Is there any really cross-platform GUI library for Haskell?

Gtk2Hs is good (I suppose), but it requires X. OK, I have X, but it's
not "native" on my Mac; some Mac users don't install it and almost
all Mac users don't always run it.

On Windows, Gtk2hs is not as native as wxHaskell, but is the best GUI
toolkit available. On Windows, there is no requirement to have X
installed. The Gtk2hs developers (or more specifically Duncan) have
shown a continuing desire to make Gtk2hs more Windows friendly, even
to the point of filing Gtk bugs and tracking their progress. I'm sure
having made Mac friendly noises, they will come rushing to your aid
:-)

A quick google reveals two different attempts to make a native OSX Gtk + port; one appears moribund and the other vapor. :(
