Are there any examples around of how to write a compound widget in ltk? In particular, I'd like to try to write something like the Notebook widget that's available in perl/tk.

Tcl/Tk has several different notebooks, widgets, why just not using BLT's one (which is the best, to my taste)?
More commonly, I would advise to implement compound widget in Tcl/Tk (for example via snit, or whatever package) and then use it from ltk
(perl/Tk do not allow this powerful approach, BTW, and ltk seemingly do)
Best regards, Vadim.

How does one use the BLT widgets?

first look at BLT samples at http://wiki.tcl.tk/199 http://blt.sf.net
then you can manipulate widget creation with (format-wish ......)
Look at samples within ltk.
Just noticed - I saw BWidget.lisp within ltk, BWidget is another Tcl/Tk package, and it also contains notebook widget, btw.
Best regards, Vadim.
Several months ago I attempted something similar and created a "fully" functional note taking program with a text-editing pane built up with compound components from the basic TK components.
You can grab a copy of the source at http://www.willarson.com/code/DulyNoted.zip
The code is not well documented at all (it was a pet project), but the Ltk-TextEditor.lisp file should be exactly what you need. Feel free to do anything you want with the code.

The file ltk-mw.lisp has a couple of widgets written in lisp, so you can see how you can build new widgets from existing ones (the treelist widget would be close to what you want)
