“GTK+OSX is a native Mac OS X port of the Linux-based GTK+ open
source graphical user interface library. GTK+ (GIMP Toolkit) is a
widget library supporting graphical applications for Linux.

“GTK+OSX version 0.1 is an alpha release intended for
developers. It was originally developed to support GIMP. GTK+ is
used in Film Gimp and many other applications. Film Gimp is an open
source tool for feature motion picture work. (Gimp is an open
source alternative to Adobe Photoshop. Film Gimp extends Gimp to
operate on a series of images–with a frame manager–and in 16-bit
linear or floating point color depths.)

“GTK+OSX is a spin-off from the Film Gimp project. GTK+ is

for a native Aqua-based Mac OS X port of Film Gimp that’s due in
the second quarter of the year…”
