I put together the following install HOWTO for Windows and the GTK Client:

AFAIK, this portion works..
But, what about this section? Is it still needed for other version of Windows?

It seems to be installation instructions for Windows 2000... I have not tried them but they look as if they will work for someone, so probably best leave them there in case the method you described fails

You may want to mention the issue with GTK 2.4 and the GTK client. You have to close the password dialogs and enter it in the command line instead, otherwise it just asks for a name again.
On my uni computer I'm using GTK 2.2 and that doesn't have the problem. Not sure where you can get the older versions though.

This should be fixed in 1.7.1 release, coming soon (a few days) to a download site near you

I didn't experience that when I put together the screen shots and testing of the client.
I used GTK v2.4.14-rev-a without any issues.

I had an issue with 2.6 GTK but 2.4 works good. I noticed on 2.2 GTK it came up and just asked for a name, then a password. With 2.4 GTK It shows a NICE login screen with remarks from the server.

Yes, that is a very good and also rather new feature.

Login screen is not related to GTK version.
Client will *not* work with GTK 2.6 (haven't yet figured out why), use 2.4 please.
Login screen is a CVS feature, part of the latest snapshot release of client, and should work with any GTK version.

Yeah, HolyKnight's statement about that does confuse me somewhat.
