Sorry if I haven't answered this 'til now. Was on work trip to UK.

Lucky me you sent it here since Ales and Holger discovered it. Usually it
should be ok to send patches directly to me, but now I got comments from
other peoples too (thanks Ales and Holger) that are more knowledgable
than me.

As Ales pointed out it will remove support for GTK 1.2 and I will not
remove that for a long while. Though it's a good thing to support GTK 2.2.
I don't know if 2.2 is compatible with 1.2 so I must change anything to be
able to use 2.2 _at all_?

As Holger sent out he has made some changes in the branch BRANCH_render_1
to window size and key functions.

The branch is for rewriting the current GUI to a more general thing. I
felt I had cornered myself with how to develop drawing when Holger stepped
up with some clever ideas and offered a rewrite.

So...if people really want to live on the bleeding edge there is a branch
in the gerbv repository called BRANCH_render_1 you can test. Everything
should work there except png-export, which hasn't been "ported" yet.
