hehe - sorry, that last comment made me crack up ....
well, im not using debian, so i don't know what the debian packages are called, but gtk ( == gimp tool kit) is just a library that allows programmers to build gui's -- for example it contains loads of 'widgets' such as windows, toolbars, and buttons. Gnome apps use gtk, so if you've got gnome installed you'll definately have gtk (but maybe not the headers. ) Other well known apps that make use of gtk are the gimp , abiword and ....alsaplayer.
i think this is where a debian user has to step in to make sure you've got the right packages installed...
regards, jordan..
