Sprites with GDK/GTK

[Brian Powell <brian owlscreech com>]

Has there been any work done to create a sprite library with GTK?  There is 
an impressive library, XSpriteWorld++, ported to Qt, and I was thinking of
porting it over to GTK/GDK so as to have a freely available lib.

Does anyone have any suggestions?  Do you think GDK is efficient enough in
its blitters to do scrolling animation smoothly (I haven't tried yet)?

Thanks,
Brian
