There already are [gtk], [gnome], [user-interface], [user-experience] 
tags
on stackoverflow that are adressing most of the programming and design
questions. We often see questions about theming among others.

If some of the aspects of the community interaction you want are not 
covered by any
existing tag, then I suggest creating those tags on stackoverflow and 
advertising
them as an entry point for newcommers. This will avoid fragmention, and 
make the
GTK+/GNOME communities on stackoverflow stronger.
