You can use GTK-- or the plain C API.

The C API.  The majority of code in GNOME is written in C.  There are
some big programs written in C++, though, like Abiword and Guppi.

GTK--.

I have no idea.

I would assume GTK--, but don't quote me on that.  Karl has been
tracking GNOME fairly closely.

Good luck,
