Hi, referring to the conversation around http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/wayland-devel/2012-August/004765.html , have you decided whether you want: - a tablet-shell for tablet applications, or - a desktop-shell for tablets, that can run desktop applications? Or put in other words, are you developing a window manager for tablets running desktop applications, or are you aiming for a completely different kind of user interface paradigms that fit tablets well? Note, that these goals are conflicting from the client and user perspective. Mixing them produces an inconsistent user interface at best, when some applications follow the desktop UI conventions, and some the tablet UI conventions.
