hooray! someone thinking openly! :)

i shall repeat:

we SHIP GTK. it is there., on the rootfs. even if it were not - the moment you
add a gtk app it would be installed as a dependency!.

we SHIP QT (qtopia). it is there. the qtopia phone app suite ships - it uses it.

we SHIP EFL (evas, edje, ecore, etk etc. etc.). it is there. it is used by the
WM, launcher, "panels", virtual keyboard, and a few extra apps.

if you find you need more toolkits - why not? lets talk about having them
possibly on by default and configured to look decent. of course we can't go
adding ones that only 1 app uses, by default that is, but as above - they get
sucked in as dependencies if an app really needs it when it is installed.
