gtk != gnome. I use gtk (gtkmm, actuall) a lot, avoid gnome if at all

why?

Why which? :)

gtk+ -- I find it to be a well organized set of widgets that matches
well to the way I work.

gtkmm -- maps the widgets to classes in what I find to be a very
straightforward way, though it adds the temptation to entangle GUI
with program logic.

gnome -- the moment I start using any gnome features, compiling and
running the resulting application seems to call for every daemon and
the development version of every library in the history of gnome.
When I've distributed applications that used gnome, the people who
downloaded it uniformly got frustrated with the sheer number of
additional packages they had to also download to get it to work.
