No, I understand the difference. I was referring to the gnomeui libraries which have a series of standard dialog boxes and higher-level widgets that give the gnome desktop it's look-and-feel. I realize that gtk also has standard dialog boxes.

I'm not a big fan of how wxPython builds on top of wxWindows which builds on top of GTK which itself builds on GDI which is itself a cross-platform layer on top of X11. There are way too many layers of indirection there for my tastes. As a result, my (limited) experience with wxWindows on Linux has not been pleasant.
