This sounds good.

I have a question about those graphics libs, which I always wondered
about. Maybe you can tell me. There is also imlib, IIRC Gimp uses it for
it's effects. And further IIRC it's used for that KDE style stuff. So
why not use imlib for other things as well? 
I mean, what are the differences, advantages, disadvantages between
both? 

Note: I don't say we should use one or the other lib. I'm just curious
what's the difference between them, which one is better.
