Thanks, I'd really like to commit myself :)

Good to know :)

Well, GTK+DirectFB is not full functional either, but probably in other or
less areas. I'm mostly interested in their adaption of the rendering models,
i.e. complex clipping and lots of recursion vs. simply redraw from bottom up
and just keep one invalid rectangle or region per top level window. Maybe my
assumptions about Quartz are wrong, but I thought it's comparable to drawing
to DirectFB windows.
