The recommended way of using GTK+ has always been to only include the
toplevel headers <filename>gtk.h</filename>, <filename>gdk.h</filename>,
<filename>gdk-pixbuf.h</filename>.
If you want to make sure that your program follows this recommended
practise, you can define the preprocessor symbols GTK_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES
and GDK_PIXBUF_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES to make GTK+ generate an error
when individual headers are directly included.
There are some exceptions: <filename>gdkkeysyms.h</filename> is not included in
<filename>gdk.h</filename> because the file is quite large; see
<link linkend="gdk-Keyboard-Handling">Key Values documentation</link>.
<filename>gdkx.h</filename> must be included independently because It's
platform-specific; see
<link linkend="gdk-X-Window-System-Interaction">X Window System Interaction</link>
documentation.
