you will get a deeper appreciation, if only because there are
relatively complete docs on X available. however, GTK does not rely on
X Window, and so you shouldn't look for a 1:1 correspondence. however,
to the extent that X Window and the win32 "GDI" API share a lot of
similar elements, and i suspect Aqua too, one can learn a lot from any
of them.

i just use the source when a function i want to use is not
documented. some people don't like this. it gives me a fuzzy warm
feeling inside.
