Welcome.

     I know gtkglext is the opengl extension for gtk+ while glut is for x
     window.

Not exactly. Gtk-glext is just one of several OpenGL extensions for Gtk+, 
whereas glut is a cross platform library which allows you to create OpenGL
applications running on various platforms including Mac, X11, and microsoft 
Windoze.


     Then,in a gtk+ application,can glut function be used? Or I mean glut
     could take the place of gtkglext?

Not really.  Glut is really intended for applications which don't use any
widget set of their own.  It provides a very limited capability for menus and
buttons.  However it would be very difficult to use it in any sensible way
together with Gtk+
