I was recently given write access to Gnome's BTS and SVN repository: 
i'll take care to maintain the directfb component bugreports page and to 
backport to the stable branch all the fixes Mike applies to trunk.

Many bugs, even thanks to patches provided by users, were recently fixed 
in trunk and backported to gtk-2-10: i expect gtk+ 2.10.13 to contain a 
much more usable and stable DirectFB backend than before.
