The original guide should be some help but (warning: I haven't looked at it lately -- if you get a better-informed comment please disregard this one) I suspect it may not take into account the fact that a fair amount of the API in early GTK+ 2 has since been deprecated, and will disappear in GTK+ 3. Since Ubuntu generally keeps pretty much up to date with GTK, you should probably be looking towards GTK 3 compatibility. I'd recommend referring to the old guide, but cross-checking this against the html API doc for the current GTK release so as to avoid substituting short-lived deprecated code for actually obsolete code. Your situation is a little awkward, since any current guide is likely to focus on porting from (older) GTK 2 to GTK 3.
