I would suggest that we test it a bit more until we can be sure it is
usable. We also need to test it with more devices. Just this morning
Colin reported that the devices on his laptop X230 are recognized
differently than mine ;(
My suggestion is the following:
- Based any new development on the gtk3 branch. It will not be rebased,
and I will try to keep it up to date with upstream.
- Do not do user interfaces improvement until the branch glade has been
merged into the gtk3 branch. This needs to be done. Any takers?

yes. I already cherry picked their glade improvements.
I would suggest the following order:
- glade (already separated but needs to be merged)
- bookmarks
- table of contents of PDFs
- intensity of painting proportional to speed.

it is broken.
In the meantime I will concentrate on bug fixing and speed improvement.
I'll recommend to rebase frequently. I'll probably move code around now
that things are starting to work (I tend to place functions close to
where i need them the moment I create them :)
