<snip>Looking at the wiki page, i saw the transition to newer g-i libraries is at the first place in the meeting agenda. I've been recently experimenting with the creation of udebs from GTK and Cairo from CVS compiled against DFB 0.9.24 to test how much painful the transition would be (so far, bugs #362858 and #362860 were found). After some testing i found GTK 2.9 CVS snapshot dated 20060328 to compile and work with DFB 0.9.24 (later GTK snaphots were broken). What do we want to do about the GTK libraries? waiting until 2.10 is released or create a cvs udeb against DFB 0.9.24 ? in the case we want to go with the CVS solution, i can provide help and also precompiled i386 binaries (sadly, i failed in creating hacked udebs). Having GTK 2.9 available for testing in the g-i would give us RTL text in SELECT/MULTISELECT question and would also help in finding bugs in the DFB backend before GTK 2.10 is released. Also, it would be nice staring to think ho to package into an udeb that nice "Bladr" GTK theme Luca Bruno created [1].
