Although it won't help you directly with gtkmm, I would HIGHLY recommend 
you to buy Andrew Krause's book "Foundations of GTK+ development".  I 
came from a background with MFC and quite frankly, I found GTK+ to be 
plain weird after the simplicity of MFC.  However I found it much easier 
to understand GTK+ after reading Andrew's excellent book.  Any good 
technical bookshop should be able to get it for you.
