They're just using less than GdkDirectFB :)

Well, the synthesizing of events is new...

The Paintable Interface or the Cairo Support?

We have sub surfaces and I guess the Quartz doesn't have anything more.
The code could be as clean as theirs...

I'm almost through with a rewrite of the event handling, staying as
close as possible to the X11 backend, e.g. don't queue more than
one event (actually transfer/translete from system to local queue)
everytime _gdk_events_queue() is called. First have it processed and
don't block the mainloop too long at once.
