Sorry, I didn't look back in the archives far enough.  Sorry about
that.  Congratulations on being named maintainer!

I have nothing that I am concerned about right now, I was just concerned
that there wasn't a maintainer.  I believe that GtkGlArea is an
important thing, if nothing else than make it possible to have 3-d
applications in GTK.  I would really hate to see this module suffer from
bitrot.

Here's something I don't understand - if you are using and extension to
GTK+ that uses OpenGL what does that get you?  It seems like it gets you
the ability to have OpenGL themes (which would be cool).  But, if you
want to have a OpenGL drawing area, you still need a widget to do that.=20
So, in essence, it seems like the projects are separate.  Perhaps
GtkGlArea could use glext, but it seems both sets of functionality are
important for various purposes.

		Have fun,
