I don't recall mentioning -luser32 as the issue :}. It was just an indicator to me that you haven't ported those applications. Cygwin compiled programs usually don't link with user32. (And yes, they can if they need to). gtk+ doesn't need win32, it runs quite nicely under X for me here (with Windows 2000 SP1). However, if you want to build a gtk+ with win32 GDI backend, you will need to port it to mingw, I believe the current win32 build is MSVC++ based.
