that would depend on which interface you're talking about. KDE? GNOME? XFCE? Fluxbox? Openbox? etc.

 

Or do you just mean the X server (i.e. xorg or xfree86)?

 

need to be a bit more specific. and also, you may be able to answer you question by googling.

KDE and related apps use the QT toolkit, which is (to my understanding) C++ based. Admittedly, I don't understand the whole toolkit vs. programming language deal, as I've never programmed with a graphics toolkit, so someone else may have a better answer for you :)

Graphical toolkits are just building blocks for making GUI's, they're probably best thought of as just another library - one that you call routines from to draw things on the screen.

 

QT is mainly thought of as a C++ based toolkit, but it also has bindings for C and python (and a few more).

 

GTK+ (also called the GIMP toolkit) is the main toolkit used in gnome, it's originally C based, but has bindings for C++, Java, python, .NET etc.

 

More "old-school" unix toolkits are TK and Motif.
