Started to look at this myself, but had to handle all the deps first, that took some time. As a side effect the gtk bindings improved. girtod can now generate bindings for Cogl. Not even compile tested yet, but should already give an idea how the thing will look like. If somebody familiar with Cogl would check it out and see if exposing the API this way makes sense, that would be great. http://repo.or.cz/w/girtod.git/blob/refs/heads/gtk2:/gtk2/cogl.d I'll try to get clutter done first, and will fill in the missing cogl/gl pieces then. artur
