Yes, a GUI based on GTK+ (with or without Glade) will work on Windows XP.
If what you want to do is relatively straightforward (say, without any
fancy formatting, or advanced event handling) then you should consider
gWidgets. Look at the vignette in the gWidgets package.
If you do decide to go with RGtk2 directly rather than gWidgets, look
at demo(package="RGtk2"). If you are using Glade, you might want to
look at the source code for Rattle, which is a GUI built with Glade:
see http://rattle.googlecode.com/
and http://datamining.togaware.com/survivor/Installation_Details.html
(Another example is hydrosanity: http://hydrosanity.googlecode.com/)
By the way, there is a special mailing list for GUI issues:
