True enough, but it seems to me the purpose of the VC++ toolkit is
to push .NET and Windows Forms programming with C++ and its new
Managed Extensions (i.e. garbage collection et al). In any case,
all of this is academic, because I've got the OP's code snippet
(with minor modifications) up and running without any crashes.

I completely agree. Not to be used for production software.
However, for testing purposes, it's great to have the option.

Anyway, here's my version of the OP's code snippet -- formatting's 
probably lousy, sorry:

/* gtktest2.c ***************************************************/
#include <stdlib.h> /* Needed for __argc and __argv since WinMain 
doesn't get them as command-line args -- BTW I lifted this off 
libgimp.h :-) */
#include <gtk/gtk.h>

struct HINSTANCE__;

gint _stdcall
WinMain(struct HINSTANCE__* hInstance, struct HINSTANCE__* 
hPrevInstance, gchar* lpszCmdLine, gint nCmdShow) {
    GtkWidget* window;
    GtkWidget* dialog;

    gtk_init(&__argc, &__argv);

    window = gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
    g_signal_connect(G_OBJECT(window), "destroy",
                     G_CALLBACK(gtk_main_quit), NULL);

    dialog = gtk_file_chooser_dialog_new("File Chooser dialog", 
GTK_WINDOW(window), GTK_FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_OPEN, 
GTK_STOCK_CANCEL, GTK_RESPONSE_CANCEL, GTK_STOCK_OPEN, 
GTK_RESPONSE_ACCEPT, NULL);

    gtk_file_chooser_set_filename(GTK_FILE_CHOOSER(dialog), "c:\\");
    gtk_dialog_run(GTK_DIALOG(dialog));
    gtk_widget_destroy(dialog);

    return 0;
}
/* **************************************************************/

And here's the batch file I used to compile it (all of it -- 
except the comments -- is on a single line):

Given, of course, that I installed all the GTK+ libraries in 
d:\download\gtk_top. Ugly and brutal, I know (sigh), but no 
crashes :-)
