Felmon,
Looks like pdftk is written in Java.

So the gui (Graphical User Interface) is whatever the Java Runtime
Environment (JRE) interfaces with. From my experience, it isn't pretty, but
functional.
I noticed there are some other source files and some 3rd-party code in the
package that I did not take time to investigate, and it takes Gcc to build
it. But one of the big ideas of Java is that it contains its own gui code,
so the programmer's effort is greatly reduced. I would be surprised if pdftk
does not use the standard Java gui.

good to know, especially about the '3rd-party code'.
makes sense the gui would be in java so it can run on various
platforms.
I don't however foresee myself invoking the gui unless I'm working off
of Windows or something.
I'll look but I bet there's a command-line version for Windows too.

I'm only familiar with pdftk as a command-line tool; thus I was confused by
the discussion of desktop environments.
it does have a gui interface (or several?) and then there are the Windows
and Mac versions. I don't know what is used to make the gui interface on
Linux.
