Actually in Maemo 5 and MeeGo GTK+ is officially supported.

The problem is that GTK+ alone is usually not enough for a friendly and
elegant handset UX. This is why Maemo developed the Hildon Application
Framework that is offering some of the great user experience of Maemo 5
(Clutter also contributes).

The original idea of this fund to the GNOME Foundation was to help
getting more GTK+ based applications for Maemo 5 and also to help
building a future path for them in future releases - now MeeGo Handset
UX releases.

Most of the original idea still stands. It is up to the GNOME project to
decide what to do with the funding, and now you can apply this to the
MeeGo Handset UX and related middleware (with many components developed
by GNOME contributors).
