Examples from the book "Developing Linux Applications with GTK+ and GDK" by Eric Harlow.

These examples are for GTK+ 1.2.
In order to install the necessary libraries on Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) I pulled in the libraries from Dapper (choose your mirror appropriately):

  $ sudo cat >/etc/apt/sources.list.d/dapper-gtk-1.2.list
deb http://ftp.iinet.net.au/pub/ubuntu dapper main
^D
  $ sudo apt-get update
  $ sudo apt-get install libgtk1.2-dev
