that's right, i think that it is a silly caracteristic... but that's the way it is..

Is not GTK that suports C++, is C++ that suports all C librarys...
I'm working with C++ using GTK+, and it works perfectly..
show me the error that occurs when you compile in C++... compile with
all warnings (-Wall -ansi -pedantic)
And when you include C librarys in C++ do it in this way:

extern "C"{
#include <gtk/gtk.h>
#include <gdk/gdk.h>
}
