I recommend looking through the demos on the tutorial, learn GTK+
frame work!! Make sure you have a clear understanding of GTK+
procedure, esp signals and its main loop/iteration handling.

Then you can figure out what you need to modify in your application
to port it over.

Also take a look at GDK, GDK is built around X the ```original GUI'''
so you have a more fundimental understanding of what GTK+ is built
on top of.
