Yes, it scales up and down. And looking pretty will make it marginally
easier to read, and be more likely to attract users.

I was in a rush earlier on when I said I had fixed the png load, in fact
I haven't got the width and height of the png. This was available from
the gdkpixbuf loader, but appears not to be available from the cairo
loader.
I am checking in code now that gets the width and height by loading the
png as a pixbuf, which looks pretty silly, perhaps the png spec will
tell us that the width and height are right at the start of the file?
This code may not compile on gtk3, depending what they have ditched.
