* @Title: GtkSeparator
*
- * The GtkSeparator widget is the base class for #GtkHSeparator and
- * #GtkVSeparator. It can be used in the same way as these, by setting
- * the "orientation" property suitably.
+ * GtkSeparator is a horizontal or vertical separator widget, depending on the
+ * value of the "orientation" property, used to group the widgets within a
+ * window. It displays a line with a shadow to make it appear sunken into the
+ * interface.
