Actually I use libglade in all my languages, which right now are C, C++, Python, and C#. If you want to make your own gobject-based class files, either for your own purposes or to extend a Gtk Widget, GOB2 is nice. Another thing to check out is vala[1]. vala is getting more and more useful at building Gobject-based code using a language that's very much like c#, but compiles directly to C code, allowing your classes to be trivially wrapped and used in any language that has GTK bindings. Python's GTK bindings make it very easy to extend an existing GTK class, but you can't typically use the extended classes outside of python. Well that's not completely true. Using the python C extension API, you can easily use the classes from C or C++, but it's not quite the same thing as what vala does.
