Gdk::Window is an abstraction around the low level window object offered
by the backend GUI system (X11, Quartz/Cocoa, GDI, DirectFB and more).

Gtk::Window is a fully-fledged widget representing a window.

Some widgets have their own Gdk::Window, many do not. The ones that do
not draw into the Gdk::Window of their parent (or its parent, etc).
