Hi,

First of all thanks for all the effort you are putting in to the project.

Is there some kind of documentation showing what is already merged and
what needs to be.

I have found a comment by Teika (Teika kazura) dated Saturday 27
November 2010 05:33:57 while searching the maillist in response to your
comment on using imlib2

"Imlib is used to draw images. (Exactly which? Theme png files?)
The alternative configuration choice is gdk-pixbuf which is part of
gtk+2.

It seems to me that since Sawfish needs gtk+, gdk-pixbuf is there,
and it works, so we can drop imlib"

So bringing the topic back to discussion I tend to agree with Teika in
terms of dropping imlib
