http://gtk-sharp.sourceforge.net/ is the site for GtkGlExt-Sharp. I 
never used it, but there seems to be available even some compiled 
installer for Win32, so probably this will do what you want.

Yeah, you shouldn't use glut and GTK in the same program, it's not easy 
to do this reliably since API of both libraries assumes to some extent 
that they are the only ones that "talk" with XWindows. In the long run, 
GTK window with gtkglext area is just much better than glut window.
