As stated elsewhere, gtk_main() is how you are *supposed* to write a gtk 
app. I would suggest you go through a few gtk sample apps to 'get' how 
it works. Once you understand what is happening, everything will make 
more sense. For example suppose you have a GUI GTK app and you click a 
button. How does your app know? Your program would have a function that 
acts as a 'callback'. gtk_main is running the event loop that sends 
those callbacks.

So yeah, ignore what you are trying to do with gstreamer for a moment, 
and step back and look at GTK apps for a bit.
