Nice.

I wonder, would it be time to finally just drop cairo-egl completely?
It does raise the question on what to do with weston-gears and
weston-screensaver. ISTR that krh was not fond of using sub-surfaces
for them, so... just turn them into simple-egl kind of clients? Did we
already have the decorations code easily integrable to non-cairo GL
apps, maybe stemming from the wayland-backend work?

That might be a nice newbie task.


Thanks,
