A quick thought; With multiple applets how can the hardcoded x,y values be guarenteed ? What would happen if two applets specified the same value ? Would somekind of 'placement hint' ( I.e top,botton,center etc ) be better ? This would also scale better to different sized displays. -- Matthew

Hey; Though internally cairo is mostly fixed point, its api is floating point - the 770 ( like most ARM devices ) lacks an FPU and thus any FP operations ( especially with hardfloat ) are slowww and really should be avoided. Also as yet cairo isn't heavily optimised and without any kind of su
