i think this too.
I also think we should push for CAIRO DFB backend to be included in 
standard CAIRO libs and for GDKDFB libary to become part of standard GTK 
libs.
This way packaging GTKDFB 2.8.x for the debian-installer should be 
easier and GTKDFB should get more revisions from more people and so 
become more stable.
