i believe it would be nice if someone could sync directfb backend in 
trunk with stable release: all that's in trunk can be safely backported 
into 2.10 (also some autofile sysnc is needed).
I sadly cannot do it by myself as i have no svn write access.

Since more and more people use gtkdfb in production environments, i 
feels we need to have it working in regular gtk releases.

BTW, the directfb gnome bug page is also messy: a lot of bugs duplicates 
exist, many closed bugs are still indicated as open etc..
i can take care of that as i take care of bugs related to gtkdfb in 
debian: do i need some special permission? indications about how to 
manage bugs in gnome?

thanks
