Good idea. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=107673

Yes, that was what I had in mind. I'll have a look at the Gtk 1.2
source.

My main motivation for this patch is that this opaque resizing is not so
good for:

	- slow computers
	- slow displays (eg: an handheld's framebuffer)
	- low power (this opaque resizing is quite cpu intensive, not 	good for
handhelds)
	- etc.. :D

Also, I guess this should be also available as a GtkSetting or something
(Owen suggested this, I'm not sure what a GtkSetting actually is :D but
I'm going to investigate).
