I missed the start of this thread, so excuse me if you've already tried
this:

in 1.2, gtk and gnome changed the command-line syntax for the *-config
scripts.  You probably want to say

c++ -Wall -O2 `gtk-config --cflags gtk+`

That is, you must also specify the name of the component whose
configuration you want.  If gtk+ and glib were configured with thread
support (which is now the default I think) then they ought to
automatically supply -lpthread.  Note you may also need to check
-D_REENTRANT is supplied (for gcc/glibc) or the equivalent for other
vendors.

Anyhow, try playing with gtk-config on the command line

  $ gtk-config --help
  $ gtk-config --cflags gtk+
  $ gtk-config --libs gtk+

Also, these commands can generate a lot of output and your command lines
may be too long on braindead platforms.
