Thanks for the responses - I dare say I have shown my ignorance, however it is a steep learning curve, moving from dos/windows. A couple more questions from your responses: what is the gnome/gtk+ relationship? I use kde, but my interesest is piqued due to the article on Englightenment - that is E17 yeah? Oh - do you intertwine your additions to E17 with a day job? That to me would be a dream job, having been a visual c developer for so long and just spent a year.5 back studying - I can't imagine trying to port a Qt project to mfc or the like. Ych! That would be more than 10% in porting I can tell you! Still, its not that dissimilar. This leads to another question: about the not referring to "desktop shell" anymore - how is E17 different to other window managers - I read an article in Linux User I think, but I forget, and now I can't imagine, unless it does not adopt a traditional process/kernel model - I would like to see a linux microkernel architecture, that would get the porting down to 2%!
