vdk tool kit goes toward this way, instead wrapping each single 
one-to-one statement it hides in the background the tedious, 
time-consuming process to write gtk+ applications framework from the 
scratch, normal operations can be done using only vdk calls, for fancy 
things user should use gtk+ lower level calls.
It's a C++ wrapper however, nothing against writing gtk+ apps in C, but 
using C++ you loose flexibility and OOP features, better plain C than an 
underused C++ (imho).
To remain inti C field, there is Glade that greatly helps you in 
designing and developing interface.
