Often I complain that GTK+ documentation (non-reference) is non-existent. The few GTK+ books that were ever written are now old and most of their included source code does not even compile anymore. All hail "Foundations of GTK+ Development" by Andrew Krause.

>Thus, with SWT, you can make GTK native looking Java desktop apps.
swt doesn't look native in a Gtk environment. Just look at eclipse and you will find many things which looks different than in a native Gtk+ environment.
Personally i would use SWT only if i know that a write a program mainly for windows and/or MacOS users. But for all programs which i write for myself and/orf for the X11 platform i would always use java-gnome.
>As for GTK# - GTK# is extremely dangerous. It's inviting lawsuit, or intimidation and/or extortion from Microsoft. The recent Fortune magazine article, which contains MS's latest patent threats, makes this crystal clear.
Please don't start the 1001th Mono flamewar. Gtk# is just a wrapper around Gtk+ if this violates any (MS) patents it high likely that Gtk+ itself violates the patents, because all the logic is in Gtk+ and not in Gtk#. Also MS is one of the smallest problem if it comes to patents. Today almost every program violates patents and the most danger comes from companies which large patent portfolio and without own "products". MS is one of the most harmless in this regard.
