Hi, I'm uncertain about the rendering path used when images are loaded in the default pixbuf engine. Suppose that I specify in an rc file that some image file should be used as a background for a widget. The pixmap engine then instantiates a GdkPixmap to hold the image data, and associates it to the widget. When rendering comes along, does the Gtk+ client process or the X server perform the scaling? I would imagine this occurs in the UI program's address space, with the result being shipped to the server via an XShmImage or similar. I hesitate, however, because GdkPixmap has at least one constructor (gdk_pixmap_new_foreign) which makes the resulting object basically a manager of a remote X11 resource. If that's true, I could understand why the scaling is done server-side. --Matt _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
