As A General Text Guideline, All Words Capitalized Is A Pain To Read, Especially For Longer Passages.

Use mixed-case instead with the first word and every proper noun capitalized. For example:

[ ] Reiterate the commmon denominator of the Microsoft Vespa Extensions for Escherichia Bacteria at every reload.

A GTK+ style guide doesn't exist because GTK+ is just a toolkit: it could be used in several environments with different styles. That said, GNOME does have Human Interface Guidelines that are quite good and worth following. The part you're looking for is "8.3.2. Text labels - Capitalization".
