GTK (www.gtk.org) is a graphic interface library. It was used to create The
GIMP and for writing GNOME. Obiously, this programs need a Windows System in
order to run. And thats why it need the X Window System (Xorg) in order to
compile succesfully. Have you ever see The GIMP in a terminal? I don't think
so.
