It's not complete or a full-blown DSL, but I started a small Gtk-light
module a while ago.  I haven't had the time to complete it, but it
shouldn't be too difficult to modify for your needs:

http://0ok.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/gtk-light/

Here is a brief example (uses the "open Module in" syntax extension):

http://0ok.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/gtk-light/tree/basic_gui_test.ml

With OCaml 3.12 the "open Module in" could be replaced by the new "let
open Module in" or Module.(...) syntax.
