-<sect1>When will it reach version 1.0?
-<p>
-The file 'TODO' in the gtk+ distribution lists the things that need to be done
-before version 1.0 is repleased. Not including bugs, this includes:
-
-<itemize>
-<item>New Features
-<itemize>
-<item>gdk_expose_compress: ala-Xt, this would really help for opaque moves and
- such
-</itemize>

-
-<item>Widgets
-<itemize>
-<item>Column-list (Jay Painter)
-<item>Text widget (needs to be finished)
-<item>Entry should have a password mode (and it should show stars
- for user feedback)
-</itemize>
-<p>
-
-<item>Drag-and-Drop (DND)
-<itemize>
-<item> It seems to be having problems again. The way DND data types are set in
- GtkWidget really needs to be fixed. This is pretty high on my priority
- list, and I'll get to it as soon as the column list widget is done. The
- correct way dnd data needs to be set is to have a additional keyed data
- type with GtkWidget, which is applied to the widget's window upon realize.
- There also needs to be a way to set dnd-data on widget windows which are
- not the main window (for widgets that create more than one window).
- -- Jay Painter
-<item> DnD seems to work for me, but yes, there needs to be some sort of
- gtk_widget layer that makes it easier... Also, adding support for drop
- zones might be nice.

So, after you have installed GTK+ there are a couple of things that can
ease you into developing applications with it. There is the
-GTK+ Tutorial <htmlurl url="http://www.levien.com/~slow/gtk/tutorial"

-to writing applications using C.
