No, we need them for declspec(dllimport). Unlike gcc, global variables 
are not automatically tagged by MSVC with the dllimport flag (there 
might be a compiler flag though...).

Anyway, I will build gtkmm-2.4.6 for mingw this week-end but hopefully 
will commit on monday some changes to g[lib|tk]mmconfig.h.in required 
for MSVC. I now have Debug and Release versions of gtkmm for MSVC with 
the gtkmm-demo fully functional. If somebody could send me a example 
(not k3d !!!) that suffers from the infamous "Access violation - no RTTI 
data!" error, I will happily try to compile it against my build.
