That looks correct to me. It's not a problem to have special code for different platforms: It's more of a 
fact of life in cross-platform programming with Gnome libraries. If that really bugs you, you can port your 
program to Qt, which AFAIK requires no special per-platform code.

I don't know of any other library that provides mac integration for Gtk2.
