We're trying to have all apps included in standard shr-images to be based on EFL libs (midori->ventura, pidgin->jeflinks, ..). And would be great to have all apps based on EFL at least in lite-image (which could then be smaller..) Now there is only a few apps pulling ie gtk to lite-image: task_shr_minimal_gtk -> shr_theme_gtk_e17lookalike; task_shr_minimal_gtk -> vala_terminal; task_shr_minimal_gtk -> pyphonelog; task_shr_minimal_gtk -> matchbox_keyboard_im; xinput-calibrator -> gtk But some popular apps (like navit) doesn't have EFL based variant. That QML dependency in navit should be optional (at least as long as nobody decides that QML is so great that it should be enabled in config by default), because gtk dependency is more likely to be shared with other apps from image/feeds.
