Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
Some googling would have shown you what this means. You need to be
running an X server and set the DISPLAY variable in order to use GTK+
(or any other X11 GUI).
This being a Cygwin/X question, it really belongs on the Cygwin/X list;
redirecting accordingly.
And on my Vista machine I have gtkmm for Windows setup from which I can run
Gtk-demo from my Vista cmd prompt
GTKmm for Windows is just that -- for WINDOWS. Cygwin's GTK+ is a
*NIX/X11 version and needs a Cygwin-built GTKmm, which is available from
Cygwin Ports.
(but cannot compile gtk+ code with from Vista cmd
prompt as I get 'access denied' error message?!).
'/usr/bin/gcc' is a symlink, which Windows itself doesn't understand.
Cygwin commands are generally meant to be run from a Cygwin environment
(in this case, bash, or another shell of your choice).

This is asking for problems. You're better off keeping extra Win32
components out of your Cygwin PATH.
