Hi

i did some testing today compiling gtk+ from CVS HEAD against 
libcairo-directfb2 (1.2.4-1) and libdirectfb-0.9-25 (0.9.25.1-3) and it 
turns out that

this is no longer a problem, as GTK+ >= 2.10.2 selectively excludes from 
compilation all the code that needs DFB >= 0.9.26 to work (minimum 
requirement is now DFB 0.9.24)

still awaiting the patch to be applied, currently GTK+ from HEAD does 
not compile against DFB flavour of cairo from debian packages because of 
lack of PDF and PS support.

current cairo-directfb depends from DFB 0.9.25, so i guess this is solved ?
