If your stuck using gtk, then you may want to look at libopt: http://libraryopt.sourceforge.net/
You'll have to setup config files for each library you want to optimize, but once you have it all setup, libopt can be used to examine your entire target filesystem and remove any unsed symbols from the libraries you configured. Unless your using gimp or some other gtk app that makes use of every single gtk feature, then you should get a pretty good reduction in size.
