That's about as good as it gets as far as environment goes IMO, but why bother with gvim? It's less convenient than running vim in a shell. Also, you should be using make rather than shell scripts, and ideally autoconf/automake for portability's sake. Vim has a ":make" command to run your makefile and if there were errors, it allows you to jump to each error in your source. For GTK stuff, I'd recommend looking into using GOB, especially if you are creating custom widgets/gobjects.
