Gtk/sdl

I’ve tried to use Gtk with SDL ! and after two days spending on
understanding gtk evenments i get it ! But i get one more problem
My menu bar is on my main SDL surface. Sam told me to try making several
frames , but i can’t do that as the main SDL surface is not a gtk widget so
i can’t place it wherever i want !
Actually Gtk sticks to the SDL surface and thus the gtk could managed the
window but not the surface !
So has anyone a solution ?

I would be interested to know how to do with win32 api’s too !

Bye
