That's true, but it's not what I meant.  What I meant is that the 
Windows links point to ftp.gnome.org, which actually holds the 
current GTK files, while the Linux/Unix links point to 
ftp.gtk.org, which is apparently not maintained and is very much 
out of date. (Currently, the latest GTK version on that server is 
2.12.6, while the "LATEST" label points to 2.12.4; the latest 
glib version is 2.15.4.)

Not sure what you mean.  The Windows and Linux d/l pages each have 
a title (as shown in the browser title bar) that identifies the 
platform, but there's no title or heading visible on the page 
itself that tells you which platform you're looking at.

One level up in the GTK website structure, you can tell where you 
are by which subhead is highlighted (Download, Documentation, 
etc.).
