For what it's worth, libgpod has a gdk-pixbuf dependency and no cairo dep, and people complain from time to time about that dependency (though that's mainly on distros where gdk-pixbuf is in the same package as gtk+, which will no longer be the case with gtk3). So I don't know how they will react to an additional cairo dep ;) On the other hand, a GdkPixbuf handling more formats than the current one would be really useful since for now it's not possible to easily transfer pixel data from a GdkPixbuf to a QImage (conversion is needed). Hopefully with the additional pixel formats that are suggested here, this will become easier. Christophe
