I don't know what problem you had but I think you can startup the 
Joystick subsystem of the SDL library and leave the other subsystems down.
To integrate the joystick in the gtk event loop you could use a timer and,
within the callback, you can call SDL_JoystickUpdate to fetch the joystick
status.

If you want I can send to you the example I've written: it's a simple window
that show the axis status of the first joystick.
