Hi Chris,

My own suggestion, for what it's worth, would be GTK for release 2.0, as
it's more approachable – it's essentially already done – then see what
could be migrated into the core once the UI enhancements are complete;
That as I understand it is the reason the GTK enhancements are listed
specifically as GTK enhancements, as a good 'first stage', the way in to
improving the core

Looking at gtk_source.c, it seems to me that adding an additional middle
layer of abstraction at the drawing stage would simply slow down the
programme; for GTK it's far more efficient handling it itself,
particularly in view of the relative simplicity of displaying a source,
compared to displaying a page

Best

Mark
