Well, I went to www.gtk.org, then clicked on the Documentation/API 
Reference page. I admit that I haven't spent hours on this page, but at 
first sight it looked that latest stable release was GTK+ 2.6.2. I agree 
that on second reading it's clear that's not the case.

No but I tried to make a glib one, for mm* I believe you.

I gave gtk a new look to the correct version of the doc, and it indeed 
seems getting better. Latest stable Documentation (which is for gtk 
2.9.0, itself a development release, but I'll drop this point ;-)) seems 
to be more complete.

Now on gtkmm: I've coded an application using gtkmm around one year ago. 
I've had problems with libsignal++ related things. In addition of that, 
I had the occasion to see the lack of quality documentation in Gtkmm (of 
course I don't pretend it's not getting better and better):
For instance:
http://www.gtkmm.org/docs/gtkmm-2.4/docs/reference/html/classGtk_1_1Paned.html
has add1 and add2 methods

http://www.gtkmm.org/docs/gtkmm-2.4/docs/reference/html/classGtk_1_1Table.html
has non documented constructor

Oh yes, and do I have to highlight that the Documentation link on 
http://www.gtkmm.org/ points to gtkmm 2.4 when latest stable release is 2.8?

Sure, but my post was supposed to be funny, Sarco is not. Or would you, 
for fun, argue that Sarco has a very sophisticated (very) dark sense of 
humor?
