details. Most of my apps were initially developed for Maemo4 and were able to 
run
on plain gtk as well. They then have been ported to Maemo5. The first three
screenshots at http://gpxview.garage.maemo.org/ e.g. show the same screen on
all three UIs using very different UI concepts (HildonBreadCrumbTrail on Maemo4,
StackableWindows on Maemo5 and ordinary gtk widgets under plain gtk). I know
that many other Maemo developers keep their stuff similar flexible.

This means that all those developers are used to #ifdef their work around
UI differences and don't care if a slightly different window concept requires
some special treatment here and there. Hundreds of hours of time have
been spent writing these apps. Spending a few more to give them a Meego future
is sure something many developers are willing to invest.  

For me it's more important to have some solution nicely integrated into meego 
than having one that's 100% compatible with the maemo5 apis.

I am willing to test port my applications against anything you guys come up 
with.
