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+
