I don't think that this is information that the user should be worrying about. Especially since most users nowadays are probably using a TrueColor visual anyway. > Dust's response indirectly reminded me that Gimp is running on > Gtk, even when it is on a Windows PC.

No, there is no X server involved and there are differences but these differences are far beyond what belongs into the user manual. Note that the development version of GIMP doesn't even show the visual type in the Info window any longer. So, if you want my advice on this, remove this part from the user manual as well.
