[Qgis-developer] Decorations

[Tim Sutton]

Hi

Thanks Martin! Yeah turning them into map canvas items would be nice.
Did we already break API compatibility? It would be nice to tag git at
the point before it is/was broken.

By the way I don't know when you last disabled python, but QGIS starts
up really quickly without it - I think scanning python plugins adds a
lot more overhead than scanning C++ ones...or maybe its loading up the
python bindings in general that kill start up time.

Regards

Tim
