can you tell me something about your experience with kdrive? How stable 
is it, how much memory does is use and how fast is it compared to directfb?
At the moment I'm using Gtk+-directfb 2.0.9, tried a newer GTK version 
too, but especially pango was so damn slow that I decided to use an 
older version. Now ended up with some memory leaks in GTK...
Since kdrive seems not to be updated in the last years (at least I can't 
find up-to-date documentation) I hesitate a little bit to switch from 
directfb to it.
