Indeed, i made daily "cvs update" and rebuilt GTK from scratch for the 
whole past week, before 2.10.4 was released, but it seems this wasn't 
enough.
As i'm deeply involved in graphical debian-installer development, i have 
 a real reason to test the DFB backend on a regular basis and i don't 
mind spending some time in this task.
If there is something else than simply testing from CVS that i can do, 
please don't hesitate to tell me.
