- GTK is a library for creating graphical user interfaces similar to
-the Motif "look and feel". It is designed to be small and efficient, but
-still flexible enough to allow the programmer freedom in the interfaces
-created. GTK allows the programmer to use a variety of standard user
-interface widgets such as push, radio and check buttons, menus, lists
-and frames. It also provides several "container" widgets which can be
-used to control the layout of the user interface elements.
+The GIMP ToolKit (GTK+) is a collection of GUI widgets. GTK+
+essentially provides the building blocks from which GUIs can be
+built. It is highly themable, and its functionality is highly
+extensible.
- GTK provides some unique features. (At least, I know of no other
-widget library which provides them). For example, a button does not
-contain a label, it contains a child widget, which in most instances
-will be a label. However, the child widget can also be a pixmap, image
-or any combination possible the programmer desires. This flexibility is
-adhered to throughout the library.

-GTK+-2.x is a stable release, but many applications still require
-GTK+-1.2, the previous stable version. You can have the runtime and
-development environments for both GTK+-2.x and GTK+-1.2 installed
-simultaneously on your computer.
+GTK+-2 is a very stable release, similar only in design to GTK+-1.
+GTK+-2 can coexist happily alongside GTK+-1, but applications are
+written for one version or the other.
