Well, I don't know if I can be there, so I'd like to say some ideas...

On this version, will GdkPixbuf separated from GTK+?

This "command line option parser" will be added in the GLib, won't it?
Anyway, I'd like comment some features which I'd like see implemented
in the next GTK+ version:

1) The separation of GdkPixbuf from GTK+ and the implementation of
   new Colorspaces (we've RGB, but I'd like see a CMYK and YIQ
   Colorspaces. We could be based it on ImageMagick library);

2) A GtkCanvas widget (could be based on Cairo, if you prefer);

3) A RegExp implementation, like we saw in the last e-mails;


Best regards, and I'm sorry for my poor english!
