We do this in our custom RPM specfile:
# Remove glib::ustring stuff as we don't need it
perl -p -i -e "s/Glib::ustring/std::string/g" `find . -name *.cc`
perl -p -i -e "s/Glib::ustring/std::string/g" `find . -name *.h`
perl -p -i -e "s/glibmm\/ustring.h/string/" `find . -name *.cc`
perl -p -i -e "s/glibmm\/ustring.h/string/" `find . -name *.h

and apply this patch, too:
