mzgnome is the project I put on SourceForge.  It uses Eli's FFI
mechanism to talk to libglib, libgobject, libgthread, libgdk, libgtk,
libglade, libgnome, and libgnome-ui straight from C.

I have enough bindings to write apps like this Flickr uploader:

or this Yahoo LaunchCast video search UI:

I'll package it for planet soon, but I recommend using mzGtk2 instead,
since it looks more complete.

Yet Another Way (tm) to use GTK -- if you're brave and have some time
to kill -- would be to go through PyGTK with Spy, as in this
