+Just as GTK+ is build on top of GDK, GtkGLArea is built on top of
+gdkgl which is basically wrapper around GLX functions. The widget
+itself is very similar to GtkDrawinigArea widget and adds only few
+extra functions.
+
+Lower level gdkgl functions make it easy to render on any widget
+that has OpenGL capable visual, rendering to off-screen pixmaps is
+also supported.
