Re: [gtk-list] Okay, newbie here

There are a few places you can go for information.  You can use the
tutorial at www.gtk.org for more information about widgets.  You can
also go to my page at www.bcpl.net/~eharlow/book for some information
on creating widgets. 

When widgets are created, you're given a GtkWidget * that you can use
to refer to widgets later.  It's probably best for you to also take a
look at the sample programs that come with GTK in the examples
directory as they were helpful to me when I first started playing with
GTK.
