 Normally, you won't have to choose a toolkit, because when
 you download wxGTK, it will default to --with-gtk etc. But
 if you use all of our CVS repository you have to choose a 
 toolkit. You must do this by running configure with either of:
 
-        --with-gtk               Use the GIMP ToolKit (GTK)
+        --without-gtk            Don't use the GIMP ToolKit (GTK)
        
        --with-motif             Use either Motif or Lesstif
                                 Configure will look for both.
