  IMO, and others may vary, the 1.x branches should really be for bug fixes, and 
not new features.

  Also, just recently playing with the glade client, a few issues:

1) Run using opengl mode, get lots of these messages:
(crossfire-client-gtk2:25842): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_draw_drawable: assertion 
`src != NULL' failed

(crossfire-client-gtk2:25842): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_draw_drawable: assertion 
`src != NULL' failed

  I haven't looked into them yet.  I suspect it is something to do with 
mapscroll, as I get them, and only get them, when I move about on the map.  I 
don't see those in pixmap mode.  As a very quick guess, I'm thinking that when 
the client is getting a mapscroll request, it is always trying to scroll as if 
pixmap mode was used.

2) Haven't looked at this either, but just tried with -sdl, and client died even 
before getting a log in screen.  But my personal thought is SDL code should 
perhaps be removed.

3) The menubar stuff seems to stop working at times - its not 100% consistent, 
as sometimes I can select the disconnect or quit client and it works, and other 
times, I select those, and nothing happens.

  These are all probably minor issues, but may be things that probably should 
get fixed before making a release of it.
