Regarding GTK+ program size ...

[William R Pentney <pentney cse Buffalo EDU>]

Hello -

 I am new to GTK+, and while I find it very useful, it seems to result in
some compiled binaries of ridiculous size. The "Hello World" example in
the GTK+ tutorial, for example, comes out to about 300K when I compile it.
Is there any way to reduce the mammoth size of GTK+ compiled binaries?

- thanks, Bill
