33wxWindows 2 for GTK is a port of wxWindows to the <a href="http://www.gimp.org/gtk" target=_top>GTK+ toolkit</a>,
34which is freely available for most flavours of Unix with X. wxWindows 2 for GTK is
35often abbreviated to wxGTK. wxGTK has a separate home page <a href="http://www.freiburg.linux.de/~wxxt" target=_top>here</a>.

40Currently wxGTK does not have any features that would involve dependence on any desktop
8b283bb8 41environment&#39;s libraries, so it can work on GNOME, KDE and with other window managers

42without installation hassles. Some GNOME and KDE integration features are file based, and
43so may be added without dependence on libraries. Other features may be supported in the
44future, probably as a separate library.

47<h3><a name="redhat">Warning about GTK libraries supplied with RedHat</a></h3>
48
49It seems that some versions of RedHat include a badly patched version of GTK (not wxGTK)
50which causes some trouble with wxWindows&#39; socket code. Common symptoms are that when
51a client tries to establish a connection to an existing server which refuses the request,
52the client will get notified twice, first getting a LOST event and then a CONNECT event.
53This problem can be solved by updating GTK with an official distribution of the library.
