[gcompris-devel] Question in submarine

[Bruno Coudoin]

That's not or near imposible. The underlying of the 3 API canditates (qt
canvas, gnome canvas and SDL) are so different that it cannot be done.
The event model is different, and the programming at the graphical level
that it won't work.
As for the changes in gnome itself, it maybe annoying but it will also
be annoying to write implement and maitain this new layers.

Another approach would be to port the gnome canvas to SDL. We could gain
the performance and keep the programming. Anyway, not sure it is
feasible.
