[Context for what GTk is, where to learn more, etc. are needed here]
DKF - GTk (IIRC it originally stood for Gimp Toolkit, but now stands for GNU Toolkit) is a GUI toolkit, much as Tk, Motif and Qt are, though of course there are differences too. It is popular among those Linux people that are committed to things like Gnome.
IMO, it has some powerful widgets but compared to working with Tk it feels like programming with meringue; nice confection, but not much there when you look at it closely. ;^)
escargo 25 Nov 2002 - At least if one can believe the web site Google servers up first when searching for "gtk", they still refer to it as, "GTK+, The GIMP Toolkit" [L1 ].
Quoting from the web page: GTK+ was initially developed for and used by the GIMP, the GNU Image Manipulation Program. Therefore, it is named "The GIMP Toolkit", so that the origins of the project are remembered. Today GTK+ is used by a large number of applications, and is the toolkit used by the GNU project's GNOME desktop.
Then again, it is used for large GUI projects such as the Mozilla browser, and has serious development resources. Things like pango are hard to find elsewhere.
I hope that efforts such as gnocl are successful - I wouldn't mind sharing the memory, look and feel between my Tk apps, and the rest of the stuff on my system (which is increasingly Gtk based). - davidw
