Hi Alex,
There is no problem (that I'm aware of) with any versions on Linux, except of course new features were added over time. Since everyone wants to use the shiny new things, they want a newer version.
Also as newer features replaced older ones, some of the tools (glade) discontinued support for the older features making it hard to continue to use older versions.
But on windows, as I understand it, GTK 2.16 is ok, but something(s) that was changed in 2.18 and broke stuff on windows, I'm not sure exactly what.
There are not many contributors to GTK for windows so it took a long time for the problems to be fixed (assuming they are) so it isn't until about 2.24 that the general consensus on the gtk ML seemed to be that it was ok.
And of course GTK3 is a new non-backward compatible version that is "a whole 'nother ball game"
Cheers Lex

Yeah, 2.18 seems to be about right all things considered.
Can someone explain (in one or two sentences) why GTK versions around 2.18 or so are much worse than more recent ones? I haven't really done anything using GTK yet, however, I am interested.
Thanks and take care
