Hi mr YU, This is a pretty good ideia. In fact, nowadays there are some celphones that use customized desktop stuffs running on them, I mean, custimized WindowManager, and sure embedded Operation Systems. The main problems (questions) concernig your question is : ** Which OS will you use ?! ** Witch WM will you use !? And anwsering your former question: YES. We do need to customize the GTK for your intentions, what means, you do need to hold it by your hands and make it real :) If you could anwser my previous questions, it would be a good start point. regards Toniniho > Hi, re > > We launched a project recently and want to develop an open source Linux > smart phones based on Gtk+.
