 Ok, spurred on by that encouragement, I've tidied up and pushed the
 first couple of PCB+GL patches to git HEAD.
 
 git HEAD PCB will now render using OpenGL by default with a GTK HID
 build. If that doesn't work for you, build with
 
 ./configure --disable-gl
 

Great. Anyway the current gtk drawing code would have failed with
gtk3, but it seems that even the GL code will run into trouble: 
- GdkDrawable and GdkPixmap have been eliminated, you have to 
use Cairo whether you like it or not
- expose-event has disappeared, it is now called draw,
and it has differen parameters
- I hope that gtkglext will still work, but what do I know?

Ok, I'm an archaic lesstif user.

Regards,
Gabriel

Unknown.. but I expect it will be ported eventually. GTK 3.0 will be a
problem for both the gEDA and PCB code bases, but given our adoption
rate of new versions of things.. I don't expect it will be a pressing
concern for some years yet.

We'll have to have caught up by the time distros stop shipping support
for GTK2.0 though.

I have no doubt that distros will ship gtk2.0 for a long time, at least
Debian only dropped gtk1.2 with Lenny, a few months ago.

   OpenGL and schematic import all in one place, this is going to be
   great!

Its not all there yet.. none of the transparency or 3D, and not yet all
of the various speed-ups in the branch. It is certainly a start though!
