Thanks, I hope so too.
Many game developers could benefit of the advanced 2D effects :-)

See other reply.

> It seems that DirectFB uses the "all one big process" approach, so I don't think we will be able to run multiple gtk+ applications at one time. Am I correct? Having said that, the gtk+ port seems to have progressed quite far, so we may be able to compile some applications for it with minimal work. I am looking forward to playing with gtk+ on DirectFB soon..

Currently we are thread-safe using mutexes, we will take the challenge
and do a "shared memory, semaphores, messages" core which will make
all the applications look like one.
