Just my opinion, but it would be nice to take into account some of the
performance discussion going on with regards to gtk-cairo and
pango-cairo.   If there can be some agreement on how best to handle
the floating point peformance problems in those relationships,
embedded would benefit and help provide a roadmap out of gtk 2.6.
