+ 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.
+
+ 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+-2.0 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+-2.0 and GTK+-1.2 installed
+simultaneously on your computer.
