        The home page for gtkglarea was:

http://www.student.oulu.fi/~jlof/gtkglarea/

        It may still be valid, but I'm getting a "no response"
error from that site. I'd suggest checking the GTK software map
if this URL doesn't work. I needed gtkglarea to compile a 
diagnostic program called "xtraceroute". It compiled OK on both
HP-UX 10.20 and Linux 2.2.

        "No response" errors from the website notwithstanding, 
this is my understanding, also.
