That's a bit complex:
guile-gtk wraps gtk-1.2 only, and is quite stable. Inexplicably,
there are no releases or tarballs available. I made my own from CVS
so I could make a pkgsrc entry. I am aware of no plans to upgrade
guile-gtk for gtk-2.0.
guile-gnome wraps gtk-2 and also gnome, and can do CORBA from
ORBit-2's imodule files. So it really does something far more than
what guile-gtk does.
I am using guile-gnome for a new project, since guile-gtk is both
static and wraps obsolete/deprecated libs.
guile-gnome is not yet stable, but seems very close.
I was able to port a program that used guile-gtk to guile-gnome very
quickly.
