Murray,

Are your CVS changes at 2.8 level of code?  My understanding is that
at 2.8, gtkmm includes support for Cairo.  But Cairo is very floating
point intensive, which is not a good thing for an ARM processor.  For
that reason, I have been using gtk+ 2.6 so as to avoid any Cairo
changes in 2.8 of Gtk+.

For embedded development would you recommend sticking with 2.6 of
Gtkmm? (I assume this translates to 2.4 for debian).
