  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start improving usability now, even if that work will be superceded in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.
