sending events to the libpurple library without gtk or gnt

I think you need to clarify your question.  Sending an IM is not a UI
request, for example.  If you want to send an IM, simply call
purple_conv_im_send (or whatever) at the point where you wish to send
an IM.

In the general case, you are not going to be able to get by without
callbacks.  The event-driven programming model simply requires them
for handling complex, multi-stage operations.
