Recently I've been playing with compiling Inkscape against the experimental native quartz (Mac OS X) backend for GTK+ [1] and I've had some reasonable success so far.
Having no experience with developing Inkscape (and very little with GTK+), can someone give me a clue as to which package I need to focus on to troubleshoot #3? Does Inkscape use Cairo to paint the canvas? Or is it pure GDK? Or cairo via GTK+? You can see I know very little here ;)
Anyway the progress so far is impressive, and I don't think it will be too much longer before it would be realistic to start integrating GTK+ further into the OS (eg. using native OSX menu bar, a quartz widget gtk-theme-engine, etc).
Jon Cruz is the developer to get hooked up with for this; he's also on OSX and knows all the ins and outs of the widgets, gtk, etc.
...unfortunately he's been through a fire, and is still getting his computers back online and stuff. But if you spot him on IRC, I think he'd love to chat about what needs doing.
