The tutorial explains most of what is required for setting up a gnome
application.  Compiling gnome apps just requires you to specify the
libraries you want to link with, which can be something like:

	-lgnomeui -lgnome -lgdk_imlib -lgtk -lgdk -lglib -lX11 

And any other X11 libraries that migth be used by gnome/gtk
