I am not sure I understand why. 
Objc protocols are roughly abstract declarations of common methods
between objects.
Thus, as long as GTK+ uses interfaces only as declarations object to
reflect non hierarchical similarities, ObjC will be able to wrap them
just perfectly.

ObjC protocols , however, will not be able to wrap Gtk interfaces if they allow
instance variables in their declarations.
