Stefan, would you mind fetching the stable-1.4 tree from git, and
checking if the fixes we're queued for 1.4.3 fix the problems you were
seeing?

git clone git://git.gpleda.org/gaf.git
git checkout -b stable-1.4 origin/stable-1.4

Then the usual build procedure.

If you're interested in what's forthcoming for 1.5.x series:

git checkout master  (which the git clone will have created)

Then build that.. It should have a lot less graphic artifacts - although
note that the syntax required in your gschemrc for changing colour maps
has changed.

If you're really keen, try the cairo branch!

In a different directory:
git clone --reference /path/to/your/previous_geda/checkout git://repo.or.cz/geda-gaf/pcjc2.git

(OR just:
git clone git://repo.or.cz/geda-gaf/pcjc2.git
if you didn't just checkout from git.gpleda.org)

then:

git checkout -b cairo_experiment origin/cairo_experiment

Feedback during development is always appreciated, since it is now when
these things are easy to change.

For example rendering, of what is possible (with some tweaked symbols
and colour maps):
