Re: what's the relation among wxWidgets,xWindows and GTK+?

should all the GUI frameworks of Linux run on xWindows?

(I assume that, by xWindows, you mean the X Window System, or X in
short)

No, there are GUI frameworks that don't run on X, like e.g. NCurses.
But many do since X is *the* GUI platform for GNU/Linux.

GTK+ is a so-called widget toolkit that is a convenient wrapper for
X painting routines (CMIIW).

wxWidgets is a cross-platform widget toolkit (that also works on
other operating systems). In GNU/Linux, IIRC it works /on top of/
GTK+.
