The GTK+ Indirect Renderer is a new GDK backend for the GTK+ toolkit. It renders each toplevel window to a Cairo image surface, and lets the application sort out the details of blitting these to a device. This is useful for applications that want to use GTK+ widgets in contexts that are not officially supported, such as games that use SDL or OpenGL. Please note that this is a work in progress. Critical parts - like keyboard input handling - are missing, and the code quality is still very low. That said, it already renders fairly well, and takes mouse input.
