I'm trying to work on that one currently.

First thing is to make a wrapper for gtk stuffs so that can make C++
classes out of existing gtk stuffs - so that can use gtk stuffs out
from proper C++ interface. Then to work on so that people can make
their own widgets typesafely within C++ and extend existing ones (and
hopely they will be usable also from C but with more verbose syntax
:). But no. I'm not really thinking of rewriting gtk -- just trying to
provide alternative way of using it.
(People have put too much work to gtk -- certainly not worth reinvent it
with another language..)

I'll be putting more information about this on the web page soon, and
ideas of how to solve problems with the implementation are of course
welcome.
