While that may have been fairly accurate for GTK1.x, GTK2 has much better
Windows support.  There is even a nicely packaged Windows installer of the
needed GTK2 runtime files at www.dropline.net.  New versions of the runtime
are regularly made available fairly soon after each new release of GTK.  I
have used these bindings along with Pygtk (Python's GTK2 binding) to develop
a few Windows apps that perform MUCH better than earlier Pygtk apps did
under Windows.
