I downloaded the tarball and took it out for a quick drive.  The port
is totally awesome!  You rock!  Thank you for taking the initiative
here and delivering such a solid port of PCB!

Two minor points:

1.  Why don't you call it gtkpcb, or something like that?  It's the
most logical name, IMO.  Pcb-gtk doesn't have the same ring.  On the
other hand, you should call it what you want 'cause it's your 
baby. . . . . 

2.  When I select the "silk" radio button (to draw on the silk layer),
the selection drops down to "rat lines".  That is, the "rat lines"
circle fills in.  When I draw a line in this mode, the line appears on
the silk layer.  No other layer seems to have this problem.  Any ideas
about what's going on?

Anyway, these two minor points are dwarfed by the awesome job you did!

I'll keep playing with the new GTK port of PCB!  Thanks for your hard
work, 

Stuart
