GDK is a semi-internal backend support library for GTK.  You want to be
using 'gtk+-2.0' in your pkg-config line.  If you are using gnome2
libraries, check out /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libgnome*.pc for things you
might be using.  You'll probably want 'libgnome-2.0' and perhaps
'libgnomeui-2.0'.  IIRC, libgnomeui-2.0 will include cflags/libs
parameters for GTK as well, so you can probably omit 'gtk+-2.0'.

gnome-config is for gnome 1.x, I believe.
