I believe gtk+ initialization requires an open connection to an 
X server - I dont think this requirement is really needed until
realizing widgets (i.e. showing them on screen).. you might try
looking at the gtk docs for alternate ways of initializing gtk,
I'm not sure but I dont think its currently possible the way
its written.
