No, you would not see those interfaces at all.  You would only see ATK. 
And you would only link to ATK+glib.  The other stuff would be
LD_PRELOADED or dlopened(), and you would only need to call a single
init routine.  If the existing bootstrapping hook is unacceptable I
would be happy to add one that met your needs.

If by "problems with the way glib is written" you are referring to 
glib mainloop issues, surely that problem can be addressed "at source".  
Or perhaps they can be worked around; Michael meeks managed to solve 
these problems for OpenOffice.org when they encountered them.  I am 
sure that he would have useful suggestions.
