Yes we know that, they still providing GTK+2 or GTK+ for backward compability. I was mean about version, because there are no stable GTK+ 3 for Windows yet ( at least in official site gtk.org ), so if he want to build his GTK+ app in Windows, the maintained and bundled development release is available, that is version 2.24. So, for less effort, Its better for him to use GTK+ 2 in Linux too, unless he want to distiguish between GTK+3 and GTK+2 calls in the code.
