I can confirm that gtkmm (at least 2.2) is stable under Windows. I developped a
cross platdorm app, under gtkmm, which is now in production, without problems.
I really think that gtkmm is the best solution for cross platform development
today (so, so, so lighter that java, less expensive and more 'C++' that QT, more
powerful than wxWindows).
I tried gcj with swt, but the test program crashed under win32.

Unless you see mention of specific issues then I wouldn't pay much
attention to uninformed speculation.

People seem to be using gtkmm fairly happily on Windows, in a variety of
environments. There is an installer, with a demo included, so I recommend
that you try it out. The GIMP is also available on Windows. If these work
for you then I think you can be fairly sure that your application will
work too.
