My idea too.
I would like to see this...


For what it is worth, the original GTK platform is nod dead. Attention 
just shifted away.
And stability is ok as far as i can tell.
Gsmd allegedly breaks standby. But works for me.

Will see. I find the look and the UI design in general really well choosen.
But it is not GTK what buys me. As long as GTK is there as a lib for 
compatibility. (which is AFAIK also the case with the other builds based 
on X11)
But i would not mind if the Toolkit of the future would be EFL.

What i like with the old Framework (GTK thingie) is that it is pretty 
much the same what other mobile communications systems use as a platform 
and riding on pretty well established tools used on everyday linux systems.
GTK, GConf, D-Bus, (embedded) Evolution, X11, Avahi and probably some 
more like some gnome stuff...
