Yet to be decided and may be different between netbook and MID. Best guess is Netbook: metacity + clutter, and MID: matchbox + compositing additions + clutter. The window manager will have compositing capabilities. X Window system will be able to correctly render composited windows with OpenGL apps running. > 2.Composite Window Manager : The transparent gtk window doesn't work > well for moblin 1.0. Will it be solved for Moblin 2.0 ? Is the poor performance due to hardware acceleration issues? We should make sure you have the right drivers. In any case we want great performance of OpenGL, compositing, and video on all platforms. > 3. xul runner : Will the xul runner be the standard component for > Moblin 2.0 platform ? A Mozilla-based browser (w/xulrunner) is still the plan. Netbook: Firefox 3.0, MID: Firefox Mobile. Or some derivative of these. > 4.

For example, the Maemo > patch for gtk is also removed? We are trying to understand how best to support existing Moblin 1.0 applications but are moving away from Hildon framework. That said, just how to be backward compatible is still an open topic. The Maemo patch to GTK was for right-click and auto-launch of keyboard? If these patches are still needed and GTK hasn't already included some equivalent functionality then we will see what needs to be done.
