Certainly, but I don't really understand how cleanups work with some
gtk/glib stuff.
I will try to check this out, but maybe not before next week-end.

I fully agree. It's ok on my P533, but would like to target smaller PC.
I will try to make it better, but gdk-pixbuf doesn't seem to be well
designed for animation (at least for the methods I use).

I really thought a lot about it, and the way I found the best is
implemented. If you begin with the engine car, you'll have to put it at
the rightmost border : you can't push it rightward as you add more cars
(it would not look nice).
