Thanks. Is there any documentation on the best way to do various high-level tasks, such as drawing images? One of the big things I need to update is the toolkit's image-handling code: right now, a simple JPEG splashscreen takes seven seconds to draw. A good howto on dealing with copy/paste would also be useful. >> Is this the best mailing list for any questions I have, or is there a >> better one? > > This one's fine, yes.
