This sounded so psychedelic that I just had to look it up. Did you
already check out GtkSocket / GtkPlug? Perhaps it could be possible to
embed the hard-to-port part as a widget for otherwise-gtk application?

Also, did you explore the possibility of porting it to Qt? (since, as
you said, you are not already familiar with Gtk+). Depending on your
application, Qt might have something that would allow you to eliminate
tons (almost all?) of custom gui code. What kind of GUI do you have?
