Same concept as stacked windows but implemented different way is also used by MeegoTouch toolkit and native Meego applications. If you would like to make meego applications with consistent and good UI you should have it implemented way or other. I was thinking could it be implemented with ordinary window manager with some tricks. For adapting any desktop widgets set ( also QWidgets ) will face same problems. Kinetic finger scroll is also key feature. So long than you have resistive touch screen you can manage with scroll bars but they become difficult to use if you have capasitive touch screen.
