Didn't see Rexx, but Ruby, Python and Eiffel seem to be supported. Adie looks like quite a nice editor. Xfe is built with it, and that's a pretty decent testimonial. Maybe Fltk with Python might be an alternative?
Coming at it from the other direction, the number of decent seeming fast light gui kits for Python is amazing.

The link site is about an interesting program which seems to be for OpenGL scene lighting.
The toolkit itself seems to be LGPL, have a bunch of toolkit/scripting bindings (Rexx, python...) http://www.fox-toolkit.org/goals.html
So while not beating out MUI (lots of visual grayspace here, folks) it does seem to have a nice olive branch built in for hosted OpenGL windows! Was not this the year laptops were to have built-in tablets with angle-and-torque-sensing for compatibility with the high-touch cellphone I/O sensibilities? Oh well.
