First of all, as you may have seen on the mailinglist libggi is in
quite a flux right now, so the devel tree should not be used until
we have stableized it somewhat.

Secondly, most of the functionality that you want in libggi2d is
on the TODO list, so you'll have to either wait for it to be
implemented or, preferedly ;), have a look at it and help with
implementing it.
