Hi Carlos,

GtkGLext seems to be the most popular GL Area to use these days. You  
might also want to look at Clutter [1] or Pigment [2] which are  
canvases offering some higher level abstractions for 2D/3D usages. It  
depends a bit on what you need, if you just want an area for pure GL  
I'd go with GtkGLext.

Regarding future inclusion of GL in GTK+ there is an open bug about it  
in the Bugzilla [3], I started looking into it a while back but didn't  
have time to get anything off my hard drive. There are some open  
issues in that you can read about in the bug tracker.

Good luck,
  Mikael Hallendal
