<h3><a name="wxgtk">What is wxWindows 2 for GTK?</a></h3>
wxWindows 2 for GTK is a port of wxWindows to the <a href="http://www.gimp.org/gtk" target=_top>GTK+ toolkit</a>,
which is freely available for most flavours of Unix with X. wxWindows 2 for GTK is
often abbreviated to wxGTK. wxGTK has a separate home page <a href="http://www.freiburg.linux.de/~wxxt" target=_top>here</a>.

<h3><a name="locale">Why doesn&#39;t reading floating point numbers work when using wxWindows?</a></h3>
If your program reads the floating point numbers in the format <tt>123.45</tt>
from a file, it may suddently start returning just <tt>123</tt> instead of the
correct value on some systems -- which is all the more mysterious as the same
code in a standalone program works just fine.
<p>
The explanation is that GTK+ changes the current locale on program startup. If
the decimal point character in the current locale is not the period (for
example, it is comma in the French locale), all the standard C functions won&#39;t
recognize the numbers such as above as floating point ones any more.
<p>
The solution is to either use your own function for reading the floating point
numbers (probably the best one) or to call <tt>setlocale(LC_NUMERIC, "C")</tt>
before reading from file and restore the old locale back afterwards if needed.
<h3><a name="gnome">Does wxGTK have GNOME support?</a></h3>
Currently wxGTK does not have any features that would involve dependence on any desktop
