        Yes this is clearly neccessary; many components will support
continuous zooming, just as a simply by-product of how the rendering must
be constructed to support any sort of zoom.

        I am interested in making the common case simple.

        I think it is far better to provide a _full version and a simple
version. However non-difficult it is to add 'TRUE, NULL, NULL, 0' to a
function, you still have to worry about it and check it this is clearly
far less stressful:

 bonobo_zoomable_set_parameters (zoomable, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, FALSE, FALSE);

        I really think continuous zooming will be the common case and I   
would like to make it easy; please commit the _full version.
 
        Thanks,
  
                Michael.
