Apps don't get 'ported' into OE, people add builddescriptions for them. Assuming that every package in OE is patched to work on qvga is a foolish thing to do. Some packages *do* provide configfiles that are tailored to various devices, so saying that we don't want apps to work on a smallscreen isn't true. You'll notice that X images by default use gpe-theme-clearlooks which uses some gtkrc magic to make widgets smaller for smaller screens. People also need to realize that OE also supports machines like the beagleboard that can do 1920x1280 on their DVI ports.

Koen
