ok, thanks. None of those modules I announced ;-) is yet in CPAN, only 
Geo::Raster is there before but that's in the Geo:: namespace, and the 
Gtk2-stuff is in a file Gtk2::Geo::Raster-0.30.tar.gz in sourceforge.

Would it be ok to call the RasterWindow module (which subclasses 
ScrolledWindow) Gtk2::Ex::RasterWindow? The problem is that it should 
also support (geographic) vector data, so maybe Gtk2::Ex::GIWindow? (GI 
= Geographic Information) Any suggestions are welcome.

Gtk2::GIS is more like an example application (although technically it 
is a module) and perhaps not a module per se, it would be included in 
the new Gtk2:Ex::* module but the module wouldn't be called that..
