The latest version is 2.24. The version 2.14 is considerably incompatible
with both 2.18 and 2.24.

If you want to learn/use Gtk, forget about GLADE. Don't invest much in
examples, only if you are stuck. Start to write your application. Don't
think about perfection. Gtk is not a kind of thing you could do much
upfront. Just make it working, improve incrementally...

There is on-line GtkAda documentation:

http://libre.adacore.com/wp-content/files/auto_update/gtkada-docs/gtkada_rm/gtkada_rm

However, since you have 2.14, it contains an older version of this
documentation which was much better. Use it instead.

For all issues regarding Gtk (Glib, GObject etc) see Gnome developing
center:

http://developer.gnome.org/gtk/2.24/

GtkAda documentation is largely derived from this source and GtkAda is
quite thin bindings.

For Cairo see:

http://cairographics.org/documentation

Have fun!
