Chad,

  If you are looking at frameworks for GTK, you might want to 
  consider looking at ViewKit.  While it's current implementation
  is Motif specific, the overall architecture might be a good 
  starting point for a framework for GTK.  The Hungry Programmer's
  have a free "clean room" implementation of ViewKit on their 
  ftp site;

    ftp://ftp.japhar.org/pub/hungry/viewkit/libvk-Apr19-2243.tar.gz

  You can also find information about ViewKit on the following
  web sites;

    http://www.viewkit.com/
    http://reality.sgi.com/rhess_engr/

  The first web site is sponsored by ICS and they have links to the
  ViewKit technical documentation on the SGI web site.  The other
  web site is my home page and I've got links to several articles
  about ViewKit that were written for "The Motif Developer" (also
  sponsored by ICS);

    http://www.motifzone.com/tmd/tmd.html

  Hope this helps,

:-l
