have time to finish what's on the list now, so no new stuff on the
TODO list.

Fixed in GTK 2.0 already. xthickness/ythickness are now in the style
instance rather than the style class.

Well, you got out of the patch-sending. Maybe you can port your engine
to GTK 1.3 for us, and report bugs in this stuff. ;-)
