Welcome everyone, to the newly created Xpresser Team!

First of all, I'd like to thank Gustavo for all the great work he's done 
by creating/maintaining xpresser for such a long time.

I'd just like to briefly discuss the top priority for development of 
Xpresser today, and that is the GTK3 port.  Without this, Xpresser will 
not work natively in Precise, which could cause a lot of problems for a 
lot of people.  So our main goal is to finish the GTK3 port of Xpresser 
before 12.04 LTS is released.

There is already a work-in-progress for this port (thanks Gustavo!) that 
can be found here: 
https://code.launchpad.net/~niemeyer/xpresser/gtk3-port and a blueprint 
can be found here: 
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/xpresser/+spec/xpresser-gtk3-port


Does anyone have any ideas/plans for the best ways to accomplish this? 
From what I understand from Gustavo, the issue currently is that in 
GTK3, there is no quick way to get a numpy array of pixels from a 
framebuffer, which is how Xpresser worked in GTK2 (feel free to correct 
me if I'm wrong!)

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks and welcome,
Chris Wayne
