Yes! Gtk libraries may be the same. But don't forget that Gtk
libraries depends on xlibs/MS-Win libs. What i mean is that a
Windows 2000 on WINE is not the same than a real Windows 2000.
WINE may be a great VM. But a running stand alone Windows is
more clean and less buggy.

May be possible you can solve this by modifying your Gtk+ code.
But it's always known that not all MS-Win software is running
under WINE. So my suggestion is to develop with a real Windows
box if your binaries shall be runable under Win (at least for
developing such extensions that makes problems under WINE).
    
Sorry that i have no better ideas. It's a bit confusing me that
your code is running in WINE and not in MS-Win. And all i can
say for this: I'm using Gtk+-2.2.2, have found no bugs so i can
say the newest Gtk+ is very stable. I think WINE is the problem
and in your situation i would forget about WINE till the prog
is ready for a release. And then you can look for the result by
running this prog under WINE (if necessary).
