Thanx for the inputs. True, it is no where like Internet Tablet, it will not have applications like www-browser or pdf reader. It might support local playback, streaming player, recorder with preview and some other functionalities to control various input and output sources/sinks. In this case using GTKFb looks good, and having d-bus with it to communicate with other CLI daemon applications to transfer messages. Hope GTKfb doesn't limit the use of d-bus, AFAIK. Only limiting thing with GTKFb will be like one should one binary (GUI app) doing everything we want to show it to the end-user. Hope I understood this point. -- --Trilok Soni _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
