There's always gtk.org - but beware, the docs are huge, complex and often less than helpful. Ask here first :) > 2.

Are you aware of any grid libraries available for GTK (like Phil > Russel's EuGrid for Windows)? I'm not certain, since I haven't seen EuGrid. But if it is a multi-column list which can contain other controls, such as buttons, checkboxes, pictures, etc, then that capability is built into the GTK 2 list and tree views. Because the list and tree view controls are based on a MVC scheme, using them is not as easy as I would like. Give me an example of what you'd like to do, and I'll try to build a demo.
