You can add to that my request for transparent layer transitions, i.e.,
where the second image has a transparent background while it transitions
onto the previous image, similar to bullet transitions on a PowerPoint chart
(which is one of the intended types of uses for this). This should be
trivial to implement. Just give the option to set the transfer mode on the
second GWorld, something that is not available in the API now (or is at
least ignored).
