Okay, so I've finally got xemacs, ilisp and cmucl working together. It
all seems fine, except that every now and then a window called "ILISP
Arglist Output" pops up. For example, the first time that I try to
type "(defun ", that is, typing the space makes it pop up.
Obviously this is some kind of "helpful" feature window, but is seems
very annoying. Can I disable it somehow? It doesn't seem to be saying
anything useful.

I prefer to redirect it to the minibuffer window using (in my .emacs):
(setq lisp-no-popper t)

Thanks, that seems to work. Mind you, I'm still confused as to why it's
trying to tell me that defun is undefined.

It tells you the arglist to the function whose name you just typed,
which can be really helpful with, say, MAKE-PATHNAME. However,
ILISP's default presentation (constantly popping up and destroying a
million windows) sucks. You might be interested in my hack to make
this nicer: <http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~tfb/no-carrier/ilisp/>.
It's a compromise, ILISP pops up exactly one window, and displays any
output longer than 1 line there, whether it's arglist information, the
result of evaluating something, whatever.

I think it should help:
(setq ilisp-display-output-function #'ilisp-display-output-in-echo-area)
in your .emacs
