It will depend quite a lot on the window manager and Home screen (task launcher probably uses .desktop files and there were some custom key-value pairs in Fremantle). I don't expect lot of problems from the window management side, except that Hildon stackable windows are probably not fully supported, unless some compensating work (e.g. using configure requests instead of relying on the WM) is done in libhildon. -Kimmo > > Graham > _______________________________________________ > MeeGo-dev mailing list > MeeGo-dev@meego.com > http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev _______________________________________________ MeeGo-dev mailing list MeeGo-dev@meego.com http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev
