GNOME Developer Kit: much easier than building from SVN
,----[ Quoet ]
| The GNOME Developer Kit is based on the Foresight Linux distribution and
| includes regularly updated packages built from the latest code in GNOME's

,----[ Quote ]
| The work that Cimitan has done with the Murrine theme engine since its
| initial creation often demonstrates the power and flexibility of the GTK
| widget toolkit. The Murrine theme engine offers advanced features like
| striped scrollbars and rich gradients. Cimitan says that the addition of
| translucency effects proves that critics of GTK are wrong.
