I always believed it was GNU Tool Kit and that GIMP was GNU Image Manipulation Program. GTK was developed by GNU to give GIMP widgets or some such thing. That's what I was led to believe.

I have to correct that, GEGL is an image processing library used in GIMP's backend, not a GUI toolkit. GIMP is using GTK2 currently and is currently being ported to GTK3, with the aim that they make the switch with GIMP 3 (the release after GIMP 2.10).

I had to confirm that, and no, it is gimp tool kit,

GTK+, or the GIMP Toolkit, is a multi-platform toolkit for creating graphical user interfaces.

GIMP is GNU Image Manipulation Program, though.

As long as there are bridges, there will be trolls.

I just want one distribution, ONE!, that will actually work, without glitches.

I agree with that. I have been using Linux for almost 3 years now. And also tried to find ONE at first;
switching between a lot of distros. But as time passed, I accepted whatever it had to offer. Afterall,
don't forget that it is free. Not commercial. As I have worked in Software Testing, I can predict that
the Linux apps cannot cope up to the quality of commercial ware. But whatever it has to offer is far enough.

Once upon a time there was a troll. He was very, very hungry. So he went to the magic land of Ellkew, and shouted loudly: LINUX IS CRAP!!! And all the little Ellkewers came out to feed him. And the troll waddled away to visit Windersormac and WeightWatchers. Aaaaw!
