Yeah, I think I was getting mixed up with gtk+ and gtkmm.  I noticed a 
ver2/ver3 thing going on with gtk+ and (apparently) also with atk so I 
wondered if they were related.  Many thanks for your clarification!

Just to make sure I understand it now...   are you saying that the 
current version of atk is usable when programming for either gkt+2 or 
gtk+3?  In other words, even though the API changed for gtk+, glib 
mostly remained the same - so therefore if I'm using the current version 
of glib I'll need the current version of atk (regardless of which 
version of gtk+ I'm using)?  Does that sum it up?
