* I've seen people run Xfce on it nicely. * you'll need to build E17 for yourself no matter what you do still (it *is* still in development) * There is a few decent "small-screen" ui's that come to mind... Matchbox and Opie. GTK and QT respectively. * Matchbox is part of GPE, the Gnome Palmtop Environment (GPE). It has a few nice little features.

GNOME stores is configuration sometimes in D-Bus, sometimes it stores it in ~/.config/gconf, other times its in ~/.gconf, and other times its stored in /etc/gconf. There are probably a dozen other places I'm missing, too. -- my .sigfile is on vacation. I filter everything with an application/ms-* mimetype.
