Hello,
Fedora just doesn't provide static gtk+ libraries.

This topic (static linking to GTK+) was discussed many times on gtk-list, 
gtk-app-devel-list, gtk-devel list. You may want to search the lists:
http://www.gtk.org/mailinglists.html

Some theses:
1) You have to pass "--enable-static" to each configure script, if you want to 
build static libraries.
2) Both Pango and GTK+ libraries use external modules in run-time (image 
loaders, input methods, etc) - pay attention to this, configure allows to 
compile in some of them.
3) Remember of LGPL license.
