/me really lazy but today finally managed to try it:
i quite like it, i think it doesn't miss too much to be put back in trunk, 
just few things, like being able to group again once the group has been 
expanded and curing the regressions on painting (like svgs with wrong size 
after desktop change)

so people will actually test it more, when you're back as soon as you feel 
ready /me votes for merge :) (a while ago was talking with nuno of a possible 
new look but i will resist until the merge is done :) )

Cheers,
Marco Martin
