Currently is GPE running on some non touchscreen device? i know that there are some people working on getting better support for this into GTK. In theory you could handle this in the applications itself but that would mess up the code and cause quite some duplication. The most problems of pointerless device support should be fixed in GTK. The GTK Bugzilla contains some patches against GTK 2.6 if i remember correctly and full support for devices without any pointer device should be available in latest GTK CVS. Some of the basic PIM applications should work quite well without a touchscreen, but i don't think using e.g. matchbox-panel is fun with some keys only. Another thing we need to introduce in a useful way is support for softkeys which are quite common on devices without a touchscreen. Another problem is text input if you have a numeric keyboard only. We have a small tool to do this in X but currently not enough time to do much of development on it: http://projects.linuxtogo.org/projects/thumbpad/ Greetings Florian -- The dream of yesterday Florian Boor is the hope of today Tel: +49 271-771091-14 and the reality of tomorrow.
