All widgets are derived from GtkWidget.  Some have their own windows,
some don't.  Generally, only widgets receiving input have â GtkImage
does not normally receive input.  The concept is quite clearly (IMO)
described in the introduction

GtkObject is a historical relict and it is gone in GTK+ 3.0.  It existed
for convenient construction of objects (widgets) with floating references
and other stuff that all have been integrated into GObject since.
