Most of the GNOME libraries are built on top of glib and gobject, so the programming will be familiar. More to the point, a GNOME application uses the GTK widget toolkit for its UI, so "running GNOME on GTK" is a tautology - GNOME apps *are* GTK apps. On a technical level, as you have come to learn from the GTK API docs and tutorials, so too you will you find material at http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/ for the other libraries familiar. There are some GUI elements present in libraries like libgnomeui (which are steadily migrating to gtk) and then there are various support aspects, like supporting accessibility, translations, etc which come together to make a GNOME app. Of course, the GNOME project as a whole is going through a bit of an identity crisis at the moment. One likely outcome is that there will be some set of parameters that define "this is a GNOME app" and GNOME itself will be the collection of those applications. You mentioned being OT to this list; you've been asking lots of sensible questions here over the past month or two, so I imagine people will be tolerant.
