Ok, here goes.

Image support sucks, only PNG from files. Some redraw issues (esp. Gtk scrollbars) remain. If you choose Gtk3 as toolkit, cairo is forced, otherwise give--with-cairo to configure. Tool bar is blank when using native tool bar (i.e. Lucid, Lesstif/Motif, no toolkit) because of no xpm-support for images.

Performance is not that great, straight X is faster.

It will probably destroy your computer and burn down your house also.

Right.  So this is totally unrelated to what Daiki was experimenting
with?


I don't know what Daiki was experimenting with.

The Cairo part is an overlap between those patches.  I believe mine is
much less quality.  The differences are: Yamamoto-san's patch adds
printing support using GTK+ print dialogs, and mine was trying to add
Wayland keyboard event handling.

By the way, some of my friends are really interested in the Cairo based
printing support.  Could you perhaps post an update of Yamamoto-san's
patch?  I'm happy to test it.

I haven't kept it up to date with trunk lately.  I'll see if I can update it
and then post it.
