Even better, we just put in there

# GTK

# Go home happy, you don't need to do anything for GTK!  Your code
works without any extra modifications needed :)

I'd rather just explain that to people than make them do busy calls
that serve no purpose.  Most people (with a few exceptions, obviously)
only write code for the toolkit they use, so the gtk crowd (and
possibly tk/fltk) will just register "I don't have to worry about it"
and move on, rather than sprinkling all their codes with extra no-ops.

Cheers,
