README for gtk-dking-990507-0.patch.gz

This file is a patch against GTK 1.2.2, but applies to the 1.3 CVS sources as well.
It is a change to one file, docs/gtk.texi.

This patch is essentially a rewrite of the GTK reference guide which is included
in the GTK distribution.  It appears as if most effort has gone into bringing up
the tutorial to reflect recent distributions, and the reference was left alone.
I thought it discouraging to potential users of GTK to leave them what they would
regard as no current documentation, so I brought the reference document up to
standard.

This update reflects the GTK 1.2.2 distribution, and the GTK 1.2 CVS source as
of May 1.

I plan to next bring it up to the GTK 1.3 CVS level, and also to keep watch on
the 1.2 CVS tree and update the document if that changes.  I am also monitoring
discussion on gtk-list and gtk-devel-list and making changes to the document
which would clarify issues that users seem to have problems with.  I do hope to
see the new document in one CVS tree or the other, so the diff files are not as
large as this one.
