Hi! I'm working on porting an existing xlib-based application to the Maemo platform. I'm trying to understand whether keeping xlib is a feasible option. (I know very little about GTK development.) It seems like using xlib directly to create & draw to windows works fine, except that we don't

Well, there are different ways of copying files between the tablet and a "PC". We can skip SMB in this case as the USB transfer would be easier and faster. Although this would be PC driven while I would like to transfer files while using the tablet on the sofa. What SMB would be useful for is sha
