Yes, we do know that GDK works. (After all, GTK+ works, and GTK+
uses GDK the same way as any app.)

Trying to write a GDK-only application is just making things hard
on yourself. It's certainly not something I'd try doing before
getting a fair bit of experience with more normal forms of 
GTK+ programming.

But that being said, gdk_event_handler_set() and
g_main_loop_new()/g_main_loop_run() are all you need to get 
events from GDK.
