Speaking about "GTK Coding Conventions" your assertion on jumping
straight to C++ based bindings sounds quite weird.

GTK is coded in C, and to learn GTK internals - that's what Rick asked
for - the better is to use C and no bindings.

The OO nature of gtk have nothing to do with OO languages, and it's
implemented in plain/pretty C code.

My recommendation is, if you want to learn the most on GTK internals,
don't use gtkmm, use gtk.

Use gtkmm if you like C++ and you want good C++ bindings.
