Hello Kalle and sorry for bothering you again,

Thanks a lot, I am not really familiar with GTK+ and glib (and its
coding style) so this definitivly is really a welcome help. Thanks :)

Well, ok. I first thouht this would be a bad idea (to if/else in
application code), but on the other side ... there isn't any reason to
use the new version if additional functionality provided by cairo
isn't needed, right?

Well it could take some time (its now exam-time at university) ... but
this is definitivly something I would like to work on. Thanks a lot
for all your help :)

I am not sure, but I'll have a look and open one if it doesn't already exist.

Thanks a lot, lg Clemens
