of the artist framebuffer by only rendering the dirty scanlines to the display
surface, which noticeably improves boot times and makes the GTK UI usable on my
fairly modest laptop.

I tested it and indeed, the GTK GUI is now really much faster, even with the
GTK window forwarded over X11.
Excellent!
Ideally, can the patch #3 (the GTK speedup) be backported?
I'm not sure that it would really make a difference in this case: if this were queued
for 7.0 then that wouldn't be released until a few weeks after 7.1, and even then its
likely that the stable distros would be using something older regardless so it
wouldn't get picked up anyhow.
I applied, reviewed and tested it. Please add:

Thanks - I'll add your R-B to the artist series.
ATB,
Mark.
