I hope I'll have a chance to look into it this weekend, and will tell you more about it.
ah, ok, no problem: i was just worrying you and sebastien missed my post on debian-gtk-gnome as i did not cc'ed you.
I support this patch requires newer directfb and cairo packages, are these packages available somewhere?
DirectFB 0.9.24 is already packaged as binary udeb, reular deb and development dev packaged. Right now, cairo is the real problem: currently its official maintainer, dave beckett is busy and i doubt he'll be able to provide us a binary deb compiled against DFB 0.9.24. Historycally, the g-i has used a different package provided by frans pop, but i can provide you support in CairoDFB building and a wiki page [1] that explains the building process of GTKDFB libraries (and related stack of libraries GTK depends from) is available.
I'll mail dave beckett explaining him what we need. ciao Attilio
