Well that's a pretty strange reason to me, but I must take it that you 
just don't want or can't express it in any other way ;)

Please see yet another link: http://www.digitalmars.com/d/1.0/windows.html

What you mostly need is under "Windows Executables", #3 (Module 
definition file). You need to create the file with .def extension having 
the two lines provided on that page. Then you can include that file into 
compiler command line. After that, console should disappear.
I'm not sure the other parts on that page are relevant as I don't know 
how gtkD works.
