This is not a gtk problem , it's because your X server doesn't permit 
connection from your machine
try  as root " xhost + xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx " where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is your 
ip address .. if you are not on a network then ip=127.0.0.1 (your 
loopback interface) .
Finally you can ssh root your machine and run the app from there , if 
your /etc/ssh/ssh.conf has AllowX11Forwarding=Yes
