I think AC_CONFIG_HEADERS should be fine above.

Well, PKG_CHECK_MODULES(GTK, gtk+-2.0) should be OK, unless you need a
more recent version.

I think that PKG_CHECK_MODULES already does AC_SUBST on those two
variables.

In recent autoconf, that's:
AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile])
AC_OUTPUT
Of course, your version works too, it's just that infopages suggest this
form now.

After that in Makefile.am add:
bin_PROGRAMS = yourprog
yourprog_CPPFLAGS = @GTK_CFLAGS@ @XRANDR_CFLAGS@
yourprog_LDADD = @GTK_LIBS@ @XRANDR_LIBS@

and the rest of lines required for automake.
