suv has pointed out a few issues on this one already so I won't add  
anything for now. In my testing the devel version has been working  
fine for a while so I don't expect many issues except a few hiccups in  
packaging.

woot! this is great. Even if feedback is not really necessary on this  
one, I just wanted to point how "experimental" it is currently:
- the rendering is slower than the X11 version, albeit better than  
what I remember (this is probably purely a GTK problem, not an  
Inkscape one)
- menus do not show keyboard shortcuts
- menus do not display sub-menus e.g. Edit > Clone > Create Clone can  
be found from the help menu search but the Edit > Clone menu item is  
not displayed
- keyboard shortcuts work with control. sometimes they work with  
command... and sometimes they don't ;)
- alt based shortcuts don't work
yet this is a great milestone. There are issues but the take home  
message is that it compiles and can be packaged mostly correctly. We  
need to people to find all those small flaws to be able to discuss  
them with GTK folks (and the Gimp folks too, who probably hit the same  
problems a while ago already) and this experimental build will help  
people do that.

Thanks for your work Michael.
