AHAHAHAHAH.....Guy, please go home....
I followed this thread and read too much bul***it but now it's very very 
interesting your position! So E it's a very 
optimized-full_of_fancy-magical-biggest window manager BUT all of his 
stuff works like Qt only if you don't use them! :D VERY FUNNY!
Please stop spitting sh*t on the Glamo and the Freerunner, E is simply a 
pain-in-the-a** and nothing more.
It never NEVER worked in an acceptable manner in EVERY my desktop system 
since 4 years (with nVidia graphics cards, not "GLAMO" or Freerunner), 
Compiz+XFCE are light-years way faster and optimized than that E's bunch 
of uncommented and "always-in.beta" (and not standards compliant) code...
Please don't fool our brains and simply admit you are not able to work 
on embedded systems as on desktop (and personally I've got some doubts 
even on this).
I can't accept to read something like "my code is highly optimized BUT 
as you have a shi**y device you cannot run on it unless you deactivate 
all its features"....go work in Micro$oft and write their "optimized" 
Aero GUI pretending to work on a 10Ghz quadcore Cray processor with 1TB 
RAM and 4 graphics card....
Be serious please...

So E it's not as optimized ;) I prefer to "reduce" that "doing-thing" 
but have a responsive device instead of have to "read the code" to look 
how much is optimized to render like a Commodore 64

I wish E to be fired ;)
I consider Glamo the worthiest thing Sean and his staff ever thought to 
add on the Freerunner but Qt with framebuffer are the proof that 
optimized and well written code is possible and even with Glamo some 
smooth and fancy GUI are possible...
Nothing personal...
Bye!
