I would strongly suggest you use a distribution where competent people
have already packaged the software you use.  Basically I would suggest
you give Debian GNU/Linux a try.  There are more than 400 maintainers
who work on some packages, knowing these very well and providing excellent
setup.  You'll find Gtk, Gnome and a bunch of Gtk- and Gnome- related
tools, both runtime and development versions.  I know that RedHad has
things packaged as well, you could try that one, too.  Personally I'm
very happy with Debian.
