You're missing a layer there.  GDK expects to run on top of
a windowing system, not a graphics library.  You need it to
provide the usual GUI things like multiple overlapping
windows and event management.

Font and palette management ar euseful too, though they can
I believe, be done inside GDK if your platform doesn't provide
the  necessary functionality itself.

MAtthew.
