Sure, patches to replace deprecated code in GKrellM are welcome.

Except I'm not so sure about the future status of GdkPixmap.  It's not
deprecated yet but it will be removed from Gtk3 and I suspect it will
then become available as a separate package.  My current position is
that I will have no plans to replace GdkPixmap with Cairo unless Cairo
performance ends up being better than I expect.  When I replaced
GdkFont with Pango, GKrellM CPU usage went way up and the code
"tricks" I put in to offset that a bit make some of the code sections more
opaque than they should be.  GKrellM is a monitoring tool and should not
perturb the system it measures any more than absolutely necessary.  At least
that's what I like to say :)
