The only way to tell if a footprint is "correct" is to measure the part you
intend to install in it, and compare those dimensions against those of the
footprint. Every footprint in the library is correct for some version of
some part that was produced. You can generally trust that a SOIC-8 part
will fit on any version of a SOIC-8 footprint. However, the footprint
designer may have had reflow soldering in mind, and made the pads only
slightly larger than the pins, whereas you may have hand-soldering in mind
and will want larger pads that are easier to work with.

ECAD libraries of parts generally fall into two categories, "light" and
"heavy". We favor the light kind. In this kind of library, generally,
symbols are not associated with footprints, and that association is
something that the designer has to do. This allows you to use the same
symbol for a part that might have multiple packages. For example, you can
buy a 741 opamp in DIP packages, SOIC packages, TSSOP, VDFN... It's exactly
the same from an electrical perspective, only the physical realization is
different. With a light symbol, you use the same symbol to represent all of
these. Then you don't have to make the choice about what package to use
until you're ready to start designing the PCB.

There are also many symbols that are generic enough that they can refer to
any of a number of components. The op-amp symbol can refer to the LM741,
LMV321, TL971, and a slew of others. Similarly, the resistor, capacitor,
and inductor symbols can refer to any of a near infinite number of specific
parts. That means you don't have to generate a new symbol for a 210 ohm
resistor, 220 ohm resistor, 221 ohm, 226 ohm... etc.

In a heavy library, you do associate symbols with footprints. That means
that you're deciding which package to use when you put down the symbol on
the schematic. You may or may not be ready to do that when you're still
designing the electrical circuits. It also means that now you need to have
a symbol for each of the different packaging options (741 in a DIP-8, 741
in a SOIC-8, 741 in a TSSOP-8...). So, now we would end up with 10 symbols
for the 741 op-amp that were all identical, but with different footprint
properties.

The other issue with heavy symbols that can crop up if you're not careful
is if the footprint were to change. Perhaps you make a special version of a
SOIC-8 that has a heat sink pad underneath it for a part. Then maybe a year
later you copy that project to use a template for a new project. In the new
project you want the original footprint, but the way your paths are set up,
you unintentionally pick up the modified one from your previous project.

That said, there are some parts in the libraries that have unique
footprints. In those instances, you may see the footprint attached to the
symbol.

    <p>I typically accept the defaults.?? Since I usually only manually

    <p>I use <i><b>pcb</b></i>, and if your <i><b>pcb-gtk</b></i> is
      using the same user input, hovering the cursor over the hole and
      pressing just <i><b>s </b></i>should increase the <i><b>size</b></i>

      interesting as he alters the sizes of vias, and I can do the same
      with DIP socket pins.</p>

                            When your computer is configured correctly
                            you should be able to run <i><b>gschem</b></i>
