You are stretching a bit your imagination with all this, but you are in the right direction. Right now, we are focused in two things: 1) getting the most interesting stuff from Hildon and Maemo-GTK+ in upstream GTK+, and 2) Getting all the necessary glue for GTK+ apps to work in the MeeGo Handset (like the IM and WM support, for instance). Whether Hildon can be a compatibility layer or not, that's to be seen. Don't forget that we are working with GTK+ 3 in mind (yes, we are), and being so, you can't just recompile. You'll need to port anyway. Claudio _______________________________________________ MeeGo-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev
