I found out that the chroot uses the harmattan dbus, and as maemo relies too heavily on dbus, I think it's futile to try make it work by copying things out of the chroot. Also, the best thing would be if we could make something that does not need open mode to work. So I decided to shift my efforts to something else: make hildon desktop work on directly on harmattan. Gtk from the cordia repository just segfaulted on me while compiling... Meh. today is not my day...
