Pixmap based animation in Gtk+

[Hagen Schink <hagen schink st ovgu de>]

Hello devel list,

some weeks ago I wrote an email regarding "Animation in Gtk+" to the mailing list. I used the passed time to implement the stated idea. Here is a video of the first results:

The implementation so far is more a "proof of concept" and there are still enough problems to solve but I think it can already be a basis for further discussion on this topic. That is why I opened a bug report [1] and published a patch together with a small explanation and a simple test application.

I'd really like to hear some opinions on this approach. Thanks for the help!

Kind regards,
Hagen
