I just got the answer to this problem from AdaCore, so I post it here in 
case it is useful to somebody else.

You need to use the Gtk+ libraries from the system and not the ones 
coming with
GtkAda which are not compatible with ubuntu (by e.g. not setting your
LD_LIBRARY_PATH).

Thank you very much.

Unsetting LD_LIBRARY_PATH was not enough to solve the problem because 
libgtkada.so is required, but I copied that library to a directory 
containing other common libraries and that solved the problem.

Best regards,

Michael González.
