Dont know if this is helpful to anyone but i found a nice window manager that could be good for the 640*480 devices

That could be very interesting.

The approach looks good (though a few hours with it would be needed to say anything meaningful)

I have found the gecko rendering (in firefox and minimo) to be painfully slow on my 760 with pdaxrom.  I would be pretty reticent to base my desktop on it.

today, yes. in 2 years?  If the gui is "better" in some way it might be worth some time as a release on future hardware.  Certainy a gecko based gui would, like a java based one, go longway toward universalizing end user experiences. But it probably won't do any better than java.....

Yes, I am actually very interested in gecko/xul as a cross-platform application architecture.  I just meant that it is would probably be too resource-intensive for a current Z.
