             + OpenGL / double-buffer render (Kendy)
                 [ rendercontext double buffering coming along ...
                   fixes seem to be ok generally. ]
             + Windows 64 (Norbert)
                 + setting up a tinderbox but:
                     + OLE crashing in the basic tests.
                     + David O input ? ...
                 + put tinderbox on-line & leave it broken ?
             + gtk3+ theming, embedded video, cut/paste (Caolan)
                 + focus on default Fedora theme
                 + give it the right context, all works out ok.
                 + problems with CSS / default colors ? (Michael)
                     + different font colors depending on state eg. (Caolan)

                     + thrown it all out, and gtk2 way: ask a widget how big it is.
                     + get style context from the realized un-mapped widget.
                 + gtk3 all back-buffer rendered => less flicker (Caolan)
                 + one thing really missing - fast way to move bits around.

    + planning ubisan and asan builds again (Markus)
