If you draw into a window then you are usually looking at a custom-made 
widget (i.e. DrawingArea widget). But it should mean you can mix 2d 
and OpenGl drawing. And of course you can put that costum widget into a 
menu entry...

I'll have a look into the similarities of GLUT and the Gtk extension.
