Gtk+ is written in C ok, but it has a very object orientated 
model/framework. Like it is possible to write non OO code in C++, it is 
possible to write OO in C (or even Asm), too. OO is a way of modeling 
you code, and some languages support this way of modeling, but it will 
always be possible to write OO code in any language with or without this 
support.

The first C++ impl. generated C (cfront as far as I remember) :-)

There are two options 1. code generated in gtkmm, and 2. an xml file 
that you can load in gtkmm (or plain gtk+).

The first way demands you to recompile on every glade change, and the 
other work more and less like windows resource files, as you load the 
file and "connect" it to some internal logic.

Hope this helped.
