You may want to look at the "GTK+Extra" set of widgets.

I've been using the GtkPlot widget with great success.

The 0.99.17 release has been very stable for me with GTK+ 1.2.10, and 
was I believe feature-complete, but then GTK+2.0 was released before 
GtkExtra reached 1.0.

The version of GtkExtra in CVS includes porting to Gtk+2.x, and based on 
some prior mailing-list traffic I think that some folks are using it, 
but no 'release' has occurred in some time.

I strongly suspect that for a simple XY plot it would fit your needs.
