Did you notice any changes in performance? I tried a similar thing with NetPBM but the performance degradation exceeded 400%! Does ImageMagick play a better game?
I never even got A::G to work with imlib2, so I can't compare performance, but I would expect ImageMagick to be slightly slower than imlib2. This isn't a problem on my system, but your mileage may vary. I do know that you must have the most recent version of ImageMagick, since there are some bugs (segfault) in older versions.
I like the idea of making A::G independent of X-libraries that are too expensive to be installed for a sake of A::G only.
I'll grab the most recent revision (sorry, I typed 'CVX' in my last post) and make up a revised Gallery.pm file. I'm not big on makefiles and perl programming - just a "hacker" (in the proper sense of the word) - so someone else will have to integrate my changes properly if the maintainer chooses to accept them.
