I will avoid using GTK for large projects. If can be used for simple things and you can automate a lot of acts(and use glade for UI design)... but it has some problems that will bite you in the long run.

I'd just jump in to it, it's not too hard but hard to find the correct information. It will be a time investment of a few months.

Might try nuklearD first. Seems to be better in many aspects.

Why is that, if I may ask? Is it the licensing concerns?

I believe the gtk stack is very comprehensive. It integrates to Linux desktops fairly well. Has nice power management rules, support for appID, and many widgets.

As with any programming language or framework, the biggest driver of opinion tends to be the personal prejudices of those who shout loudest and longest.

So you know your posts weren't in vain, I've been struggling with one of the fundamentals of signals and buttons for the last three days and your notes got me out of the mire. Thanks, helxi.
