I've have written a multimedia authoring tool using GTK/GNOME (no, it's
not
downloadable yet). It's still in early beta stage, but using video is
on my TODO.
I'm thinking about using xanim to display videos. You can give it a
window
id to send its output to. The communication (play video, next frame,
prev.
frame, stop, etc.) is using some X mechanisms. It should be quite easy
to use it in GTK apps.
Due to lack of time I haven't tried it yet.
