Following the link provided would have revealed that GLib already has
g_access() since 2.8. An implementation conditionalized on
GLIB_CHECK_VERSION(2,8,0) would be accepted.

But there are at least two reasons why we don't have a hard dependency
on GLib 2.8 yet. For one it would imply gtk+-2.8 and thus cairo and
complete dropping of win9x. The other reason are users with outdated
Linux distributions ;) [I was going to say the maemo platform but that
has gtk+-2.6.x but apparently GLib 2.8.x already.]

It depends. More effective than just discussing minor points would be
providing patches. And they should definitely go into bugzilla to reduce
the probability of being forgotten.

An example, having a better cursor (maybe a 'target' less ugly than the
one provided by standard X cursors) and a patch to set it at the right
places would belong into bugzilla and could be applied quite quickly ;-)
