Short Descriptions

libgtk.{so,a}

(GIMP Tool Kit) is a library for creating graphical user interfaces similar to the Motif "look and feel".

libgdk.{so,a}

is designed as a wrapper library that lies on top of Xlib. It performs many common and desired operations for a programmer instead of the programmer having to explicitly ask for such functionality from Xlib directly.
