This means that you in fact _don't_ have the Haskell gtk package
installed (in the sense that GHC knows about it), which is why you
can't use it.

I'm not too sure about this; Carter can hopefully tell you more about
this (specifically which packages need to be built from HEAD, etc.).
But you're going to want to use the darcs repository at
http://code.haskell.org/gtk2hs/ .
