Well I filed a bug here.

http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=448&can=1&q=gtk&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Owner%20Summary%20HW%20OS%20Area%20Stars

It was rejected.

The problem is it turns into a nightmare to include V8 with Gtk which
eventually includes X11 headers. One of the biggest issues is of course this.
There is no real way around outside of a perhaps a full refactoring of the gtk
port itself.

The problem of course is the C preprocessor trumps C++ namespaces.
I'd argue its wrong for the C preprocessor to do substitution inside a
name-space declaration but thats probably a even larger can of worms.
