Someone on IRC just pointed out that GTK directly calls some X server core functions that are in the process of being deprecated. It was suggested that GTK be rewritten to process all of its pixmap drawing calls via Cairo. torbenh4: so you call these functions "talking to X directly" http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtkmm/stable/classGdk_1_1Drawable.html torbenh4: its the legacy non-cairo drawing api. and most parts of gtk itself still use it. not to mention lots of apps. remi|work: torbenh4, it's not formally deprecated, but it's my understanding that its use should be avoided Cheers!
