I think the question was valid here - it wasn't a question about
"What should I do in my app"
But rather:
"What guarantees does GTK+ make that should be documented in
a specification of the GTK+ interface"
Practically speaking, we try to maintain compatibility for GTK+
and GLib (but not libgobject) for including subheaders -- a lot
of apps include them explicitly so we have little freedom to
rearrange them.
But we'd prefer that people included the main headers
gtk/gtk.h gdk/gdk.h gdk-pixbuf/gdk-pixbuf.h, etc.
