Re: What, in detail, the GDK do?

[Joost <joost h-labahn de>]

Hello,

a hint to 60MB of sourcecode (18.000+ pages
if printed out) is no good answer to such a
question from someone new to gtk. Especially
with all that hurdles like GSEAL to understand
it.

A clue to understanding gtk is certainly to
understand the difference between gtk.Window and
gtk.gdk.Window (here in the spelling of pygtk).
Thus to read and thoroughly understand

http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/stable/GtkWindow.html

and

http://library.gnome.org/devel/gdk/stable/gdk-Windows.html

Good luck, Joost
