There is no *conceivable* way that cast two doubles to ints per motion event is going to cause problems, even on a relatively slow processor without floating point. The use of doubles for layout computation (GtkAlignment, say) could be more of an issue, but I haven't seen a lot of reports of problems from this. Cairo, coming in GTK+-2.8, is obviously going to be a *lot* more of an issue, but I don't really have a good answer there. It's at least fixed point when you get down to rasterization, but there is a lot of affine transformation before then. Regards, Owen
