Don't compile GTK with g++; use gcc. It's a C program, not a C++
program.

(If there are variables named private in the public _header_ files,
that should be fixed. But that usage in the source code should
not be a problem)

Don't worry about them. (I've fixed quite a few recently, but
others are pretty hard to fix up without adding lots of casts
all of the place, which I consider worse than the disease)
