To summarise.....

GTS does not contain any Gtk specific code. In fact GTS does not
contain any specific GUI related code. In terms of 3D graphical
display it could be considered a "backend" library for dealing with
the specifics of triangulated surfaces.

GTS does not depend on Gtk. Once upon a time a separate viewer called
gtsview used GTS and Gtk - it is not part of GTS and is no longer
maintained.

I have used GTS as a C library from C++ - it works very well. GTS,
although a C library, has a C++ OO design style.

Work on a Qt GUI for the display of GTS surfaces has been carried out
in mesh viewer - http://mview.sf.net. This project does not use the
GTS library but implements a separate parser for the GTS file format.

CGAL is a 'similar' library that uses C++ - see earlier discussions on
this list.

Hope this helps,

Toby.
