I remember seeing a blog post on planet kde some time ago talking
about using GobjectIntrospection to use a  GObject based library from
a Qt application:

http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/3878

While searching for the link I also found this:

http://live.gnome.org/GObjectIntrospection/GObjectConsume

Not sure they are relevant as I don't speak C++, but I hope they can help you.
