i had nothing to do with it. i, in fact suggested to keep the current gtk apps
as-is just improve the "desktop environment". others at openmoko insisted even
on just qtopia - no x11. they wanted qtopia because for them "it worked". we
ended up with a compromise of a port of qtopia on x11 - but then also needing a
custom wm.
