Pseudocolor visuals is something which is blocking some of our user-base
with older terminals, and its inclusion would be another major step
towards getting this accepted as a drawing library in gEDA. (Electronics
CAD). I'm really looking forward to this being in, as I've been trying
to push cairo for some time.
