Some feedback

Nice job! This is fun to play with and extremely cute. I love that the activity speaks the options as you change them. Some minor points:

  • The XEyes thing is great, but the distance between the two eyes means that for some screen positions one pupil is unrealistically off-level from the other. I'd recommend using the same y coordinate for both eyes; the average of the y coordinates that you are currently using should work.
  • It looks like you're updating the eyes on a timer. I suspect that it might be more CPU efficient to just forward the mouse motion events from the widget's parent, but I don't know enough about gtk to know if there are any obvious drawbacks to this approach.
  • The mouth doesn't close all the way at the end of a sentence.
  • It looks like you're already aware of the occasional stutters.
