You may know this but just in case GTK is not a gnome specific library.
Some people mistakingly assume GTK is an acronym for Gnome Tool Kit, It
is not. Here is what it is...

What is GTK?

GTK (GIMP Toolkit) is a library for creating Graphical User Interfaces.

The library is available under the GPL license. Using this library, you
can create open-source, free or commercial programs.

The library has the name GIMP toolkit (GTK) because it was originally
created for developing GIMP (General Image Manipulation Program). The
authors of GTK are:

Peter Mattis
Spencer Kimball
Josh MacDonald

GTK is object-oriented application user interface. Although written in C,
it uses idea of classes and callback functions.

------------------------------------

IOW GTK = GIMP Tool Kit.
