First of all I would like to thanks for the excellent work you've done!

At the moment I'm working on a small and simple tetris game to learn more
about Ada95, Gdk and Tasks.

I also work on a educational program to aid learning new languages. It
is a vocabulary trainer. Though I'm waiting for Gtk 1.4 with unicode
support for this. I also plan a more general educational tool, but that
is only some vague plans at the moment. All will be (L)GPL if finished.

If I should make a wish it would be to be able to load and render
pictures (pixbuf ?), a canvas widget like gnomecanvas and
XML validation.
