GTK on Windows



I don't know if this the right place to talk about this,
but I don't know where else i should do so.

I'm a gnome user and like the gtk applications there.
But on the other side i am a gamer to, and most games only work well on windows.
Because spending a lot of time on windows, i miss my gnome/linux apps,
but I'm lucky, and most of my apps have been ported to windows.

I'm happy with this apps, but ...
at the moment under system->software there are three GTK+ Libraries installed,
and I don't know which program installed which library.
I don't know if any of these has overwritten pieces of one installed before.
And what about the GTK+ apps bundled with their own gtk in their own folders.
And wich gtk library does a certain application use when i start it now.

From the view of a user this is realy confusing.

It would be realy nice to have a standardized gtk installer.
And if an application bundles it's gtk library with it's installer, the installer should be able to check if there is already
a library installed and which version. Pidgin already does this, I think.

The other problem with gtk on Windows is, that a lot of people tell me, that it still looks alien on the window platform. It doesn't seem that way for me, but probably, that's just because I spend a lot of time on gnome.
