Okay, I still haven't worked with gnome apps, but I have quite some
experience with Scheme and with Guile extensions. In Guile, use

(apropos "gdk")
(apropos "gtk")
(apropos "gnome")

to dump the procedure names you have.

Strange, I just tried. While it didn't quite work (it hang Guile), it
didn't complain about gnome-app-new, either. Did you run gnomeg
(rather than vanilla guile)?

You will need gtk, of course.
