this looks like it's probably this issue:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2007-June/msg00266.html

glib changed a typedef somewhere that broke ABI compatibility but it
only seemed to manifest itself in C++/gtkmm apps.  I believe a fix has
been committed to glib, but I don't believe it's been released yet.
If you want to include this fix in the glib fedora packages, I think
you want this commit:
http://svn.gnome.org/viewcvs/glib/trunk/gobject/gtype.h?r1=5560&r2=5582
