If you're OK with just doing some GUI programming, and don't mind if
it's not wxHaskell, try out HTk ( 
http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/htk/ ). It's outdated, but it's
quick and easy to set up with Cabal and it works. I even did a very
simple reverse-polish notation calculator using it ( 
https://github.com/yawaramin/HTkalc/blob/master/HTkalc.hs ).
Although mine has a pretty serious bug--it only takes single-digit
numbers as input right now. Still, it should give you a feel for the toolkit
if you're interested.
