<p>Yes and No - The GNUstep architecture provides a single,
platform-independent, API for handling all aspects of GUI interaction
(implemented in the gstep-gui library), with a backend architecture
that permits you to have different display models (display postscript,
X-windows, win32, berlin ...) while letting you use the same code
for printing as for displaying. Use of GTK in the frontend gui
library would remove some of those advantages without adding any.
</p>
<p>That being said, a backend library could be implemented using gtk
if anyone wanted to do so. Since the frontend library handles most
of the work involved in implementing the OpenStep API, the backend
is a relatively thin layer and the advantages of GTK over direct
xlib or win32 calls is likely to be minimal. If/when GTK is ported
to more systems, a backend written using it could be a valuable
asset - volunteers are, as always, welcome.
