You can abuse Cairo, rather than use it. And we use it sometimes in ways other than strictly through GTK+: e.g. the canvas. Profiling is in order.

They don't go through the GTK/cairo stack, except for the activity decoration. - Jim -- Jim Gettys <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> One Laptop Per Child _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
