I'm discovering this with my port of rdesktop. I have a (very early) alpha running which lets you enter some basic data through a messy GTK+ dialog then runs rdesktop full-screen. The mouse stuff is all fine (although double-clicking takes some effort!) but the big problem is that it's all written in X11 code. I'm going to have to completely rewrite the X stuff for Hildon, replacing the event loop etc (it was difficult enough to port the make to autogen!) This is a good example of how the "unique" nature of the 770's architecture can get you close on a port - but still miles away! :-) Simon
