Just a quick question to everyone what is this gtk front-end .

 I have this file in /etc/apt/listchanges.conf
[apt]
frontend=gtk
email_address=root
confirm=1
save_seen=/var/lib/apt/listchanges.db
which=both

I believe I asked before and could not get an answer. I know that gtk
means Gnome toolkit

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gtk

I also saw this in the man-page of apt-listchanges :-

gtk       Spawns a gtk window to display the changelogs. Needs
python-glade2,  python-gtk2  to  be installed.

I am not a programmer but would like to see if this gtk window or
whatever it is called could have some horizontal and vertical sizes
that could be fixed by the user each time the output is called, can
this be done ?

If yes, maybe somebody could tell/share if there is a way to refine it
within the listchanges.conf file .

Sorry for the noise.
