X (or Gdk) Window is a thing that can receive events and/or can be
drawn on.  Many widgets have their own windows, for instance, text
entries or menus.

I'm afraid to understand what Gdk does cannot be understood without
understading the basic X window system concepts.  Because essentially
all Gdk does is providing platform-independent abstraction of these
concepts (plus some other low-level utilities).
