Solved my problem.

Aurthur Griffith shows a reader the code and the results of execution. Then he procedes to explain all the nuances of what each statement does and why it is required. The debth of coverage is staggering, but that should not discourage a novice since the material is presented one step at a time. It also includes help setting up a programming environment so that the satisfaction of seeing one's own creations work is readily available.
Where this book shines is the index. It is detailed and very complete. I continue to use it to find the information I need.

This book is a fast and easy intro to gtk and gnome programming. It contains large, complete examples which are good if you want to do what everyone else is doing. However, I'm trying to draw data and I need something better than calling gdk_gc_set_foreground(); gdk_draw_point(); 256 times for every data set.
He uses a large number of gdk routines without providing any overview. The routines are explained where they are used but it's very haphazard. Most of the routines I need seem to be missing.
The references for Gtk and Gnome widgets list functions, enums and signals for each but doesn't explain anything about them. Parameters and return values are only discussed in the text if they are actually used.

GNOME/GTK+ Programming Bible is a good book but has many short commings. The good part is that it discusses some of the more advanced features of GTK+ and GNOME; specifically Paned windows, MDI windows, and Scrolled windows. The examples are generally very simplistic and way too many of the function call parameters are never explained. In the listing of GTK+ and GNOME features, the main calls are completely omitted; listing calls that support the main Widget building call. Only the function prototype is given, with no explanation as to the meaning of the call parameters. This said, I still find it a very useful book for the examples it provides that do not appear in the other books. The appendices appear to give a fairly complete listing of: Inheritance, Arg Settings anf Getting, Enumeration Types, Signals, Functions by Return Type.

This book started out very good, although it doesn't explain alot of the widgets and getting data from the widgets very well, for example i had search for around 2 hours for ways to get data from the OptionMenu widget that was not explained at all in the book. The book also lacks good discription for what each function does in the GTK+ reference.

It is a instantly hands on guide on how to program for Gnome/GTK. Each topic is very well explained, with a lot of practical and independent examples, covering almost every GUI building block.
For those who lacks more real-world code examples.
