Fully agree, and that was just to again show that there're many issues towards ideal PDA support in gtk, and small guys would have hard time trying to solve it. Upstream itself, having resource and knowledge, should lead that movement, with support of parties having enough resources to push the process. But we don't have to wait for perfect solution either - we can start improving usability now, even if that work will be superceded in the end ;-I. Who will win are users, who will be able to use Linux-on-PDA right now, and community, which will be growing with these happy users, while the Linux industry keeps improving to offer even greater stuff. > Greetings > Florian -- Best regards, Paul mailto:pmiscml@gmail.com
