I worked on this for a bit a few months ago. However, it became very
complicated, and I mostly abandoned the project. If you're interested
in picking up where I left off, I've put up the files I modified here:

A GTK+/GNOME 2 port would be significant effort. One big issue would be
dealing with the fact that GTK+ 2's "TextView" widget also implements a
fair portion of Emacs' display capabilities. For example, it has the
equivalent of text properties. It also supports more than Emacs does;
specifically full Unicode and bidirectional text.
So maybe the way to do it would be to just ignore GtkTextView, and just
use the scrollbar, menu, and dialog stuff. I think that's what XEmacs
does. Even then you're talking about a whole lot of work.
