It loaded fairly quickly on my Linux box. Inside a virtual machine on my
hardware takes a little over a minute, which is probably quite fast,
given how long a Xconq compile takes in the VM.
The image-loading progress report is a nice touch.
I think the top-level window size is too big. In the ChangeLog, I think
you said you changed it to 900x600 (which is much bigger than 640x480,
and would be unwieldy at 800x600). Even at the 1024x768 resolution I
prefer (my best monitor is 8 years old, and does not have a particularly
good dot pitch, so higher resolutions are too hard to read text in), the
window seems too big.

Well, that handful (game developers) is a very important handful. And, I
think your work is appreciated by that handful.
