Hi, I am using/testing regularly the cairo enabled builds of CVS, mostly to see what I can break :-) So far, the only user visible benefits are better gradient display. Upgrading cairo only seems to affect menu items for few Gnome or GTK apps, which was a trivial fix. Upgrading is much less painful if you have apt4rpm setup and optionally Synaptic. That said, I would recommend if you are using Scribus for real work to stick with 1.2.3 or 1.2.4cvs or the libart build which is default. While I have not seen any instability issues at all, I honestly have not wrung out all the bits, so suprises may lurk. Just a cautionary warning... I hate to see anyone with busted docs or systems unnecessarily. KTTS: No idea to be honest. Cheers, Peter
