I'm curious, if it works in GTK, why would you want to port it to GNOME?

Not every app is a candidate for GNOME (it'd mean a lot of unnecessary 
bloat by linking to libgnomeui and libgnome and stuff).

The advantage of coding in GTK means more users can use it and it will 
generally be faster.

-  If there is a specific reason that you need to port 
it to GNOME then do it (i.e. there's something in GNOME that you can't 
find in GTK). 

-  If you want to port it as a 'learning project' to help you 
understand GNOME then do it

-  If you want to make it into an applet or something, then do it

-  If you're sick of GTK+ and would like something that simplifies many 
tasks. Generally GTK+ code is very tedious when compared to somethings in 
GNOME, GNOME wraps around it and simplifies it to most of the developer's 
needs.

These are some of the reason why you would want to port a Gtk+ app to 
GNOME. Generally though this may alienate some people (KDE?) who install 
Gtk+ and KDE but no GNOME. (For exmaple, i'm sure there are many GNOME 
people who have installed Qt and not KDE - that way you can have the 
necessary apps of both sides without the other 'environments'). You have 
to evaluate it yourself and decide which you want
