Andreas, unfortunately the Gtk/Winston/Cairo thing got a little unstable during the last months. I tried two days a Winston/Gtk example and ran into the Graphics issue. I think this shows that (unfortunately) the user base of Gtk is still low. It would IMHO help to Winston rely on Gtk (i.e. change in Winston.ini the backend to Gtk)
Regarding 0.3/0.4 I am strongly of the opinion that we should not care about the dev branch. With the graphics issue we have seen that a 0.4 change can left packages broken on 0.3.
