Hello Dave,
at Openmoko we use the enlightenment window manager with a special module
called illume. This will provide the launcher, clock, gadgets. So our "qpe"
binary is built in a way that the normal launcher is not shown. These changes
are mostly done in a #ifdef ILLUME_LAUNCHER block throughout the sourcecode.
This should be defined somewhere in devices/ficgta01 (grep) the only thing
that could break is the change to the .pro file in src/server as a lot of was
changed unconditionally (git-log will tell you).
So my environment consists out of:
- Xephyr
- enlightenment with the illume profile
- Qtopia
