I understand your requirements, but doesn't what you propose equal cairo with the OpenGL backend? As far as I see Cairo on top of OpenGL wouldn't be a huge problem, its simply the current opengl-backend is in a somewhat broken state. (Doesn't mozilla use Cairo on top of Direct2D too?) - Clemens >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
