No, it would slow down immensely, as described on the linked page. We don't intend to switch to busybox as busybox is the root of all application incompatibilities on Maemo..

It would be nice to have the libgtkstylus package installed by default. This lets you do tap-and-hold right-click on GTK apps.

Well, we have Maemo GTK - so there is different tap and hold handling. However, we could consider LD_PRELOADing libgtkstylus to non-Hildon applications? That'd be interesting.

[*]The wmctrl and matchbox-keyboard packages are also nice to have, to help tame the non-hildonized apps. You might even want to include the hardware key hack and custom matchbox keyboards in Easy
Debian to further bridge the gap.
Just some small requests; I can do it myself, but it would be helpful to have them in place by default in 0.9...

Well, Mer is really not intended for chroot use, but so it is .. wmctrl and matchbox-keyboard probably exists in ubuntu repository for fetching. You're more than welcome to help out, we need a better environment for non-Hildon apps. |
