Hi.

Being a bit of a GNOME new boy, I'm after a bit of advice on choice of
widgets. I'm trying to write an app that displays a set of thumbnail
images, with the thumbnails generated on the fly from a set of PNG/JPEG
files. I'm not quite sure what's available from Python either.

I've been digging around the GNOME API and the gnome-python modules and
have come up with a couple of possibilites for handling the images; imlib
and gdk-pixbuf. I've no idea which is the most suitable. Is imlib on it's
way out? I couldn't find any docs for it on the GNOME API page.

If I want to arrange these thumbnails in a grid of image previews (similar
to the way Nautilus arranges preview images when in "View as Icons" mode),
what would be an efficient (speed wise) way of packing them? I was
thinking of either a simple table, in some kind of scrolled window, or a
GnomeCanvas (which I've just started reading up on). At the end of the
day, I'm still pretty clueless though.

Any pointers? Thanks...
