After looking into it, I've been told that this is a bug in mcompositor, rather than a design issue: http://bugs.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2953 >>> o The board is considering funding making Maemo 6 integrate >>> more nicely with GTK+. >> In the context, it seems like the task should be "Ensuring that Maemo 5 >> apps work well with upstream GTK+"? > > The first step would be fixing the compositor and/or adding support for > this new compositor in GTK+ itself. > > The second would be to start porting some of the Maemo 5 GTK+ and Hildon > features to GTK+. Yes, this certainly seems reasonable. But the bug in mcompositor seems sufficiently serious that it will have a high priority in mcompositor also (as mentioned in that bug report).

I just wanted to point out that this would be at least the 3rd such effort at documenting GUADEC planning - separate checklists have been created during & after Villanova & Gran Canaria previously. I would prefer to make existing resources more useful, rather than starting from scratch (again). Please see http://live.gnome.org/GuadecPlanningHowTo http://live.gnome.org/GuadecPlanningHowTo/CheckList http://live.gnome.org/GUADEC/GranCanariaDesktopSummit http://live.gnome.org/GUADEC/2010/Planning Also, guadec-planning archives should have lots of useful advice. The major difficulty with GUADEC has always been having a very clear idea of who is doing a given task early enough, and having someone to answer questions like "how many X should we buy?" or "How many rooms do we need?" and getting things like events organised sufficiently early so that we're not rushing at the mast minute.

This is what we've been told by the people we talked to. MeeGo 1.0 for handsets uses a new compositor, with a new set of hints. Those are not compatible with existing desktop implementations. Trying to use a stock GTK+ or Qt application on MeeGo 1.0 for handsets will result in a black screen. Do you have any other information that contradicts that? > > o The board is considering funding making Maemo 6 integrate > > more nicely with GTK+. > > In the context, it seems like the task should be "Ensuring that Maemo 5 > apps work well with upstream GTK+"? The first step would be fixing the compositor and/or adding support for this new compositor in GTK+ itself. The second would be to start porting some of the Maemo 5 GTK+ and Hildon features to GTK+. > > o ACTION: Bastien to discuss technical Nokia plans with > > regards to Meego for Handsets. > > o ACTION: Stormy to send Bastien contact details for Nokia > > Advisory Board. > > Cheers, > Dave. > ___ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list

This doesn't sound right... Qt apps and stock GTK+ apps should Just Work in both Maemo 6 and MeeGo 1.0. The issue, as I understand it, is that Hildon & "Nokia GTK+" apps developed against Maemo 5 currently have no migration path to Maemo 6/MeeGo. > o The board is considering funding making Maemo 6 integrate > more nicely with GTK+.
