i don't know if that helps, but i've had similar problems; allthough 
i've no clue about the gdk internals it seems to me that it is normally 
better not to allocate your GC colors directly but to use 
GC::set_rgb_fg_color(...) and so on, which accepts unallocated colors. 
besides, i experinced that gtkmm progs often cause the stangest 
segfaults or assertion errors because of lousy makefiles - just 
rebuilding a well choosen set of object files, or even your entire 
project can often save you some time.
