Sliders, colour picker or areas, and some more I had fixed and submitted 
all into a patch to the gtk-osx patch page. You shurely use this already.
Left is now to support tablets.

For instance all brushes, gradients, i18n and .cinepaint file lookup where 
previously not possible to have in a osX application bundle. A osX 
application bundle has to work on every location regardsless what is 
compiled into the binary.
The app bundles must not be installed as it was previously necessary for the 
pkg and mpkg packages.

The redrawing is not really solved even on X11. There are artefacts. I 
have spent some time on this issue but gave up due to my low expertice in 
Gtk2.
