Yeah, - I hope to replace Midori with Tear for next release (any better suggestions?). HIM popping up is simply so we can test that HIM works (we are still in development). We hope to get some saner detection later - the input methods you see in Maemo are not open source, besides the framework, so.

I do note that a lot of `lib' style files look like they're trying to be created on bootup, but fail (primarily to VirtualBox presenting the vmdk as a read-only image).
Probably an artefact of how I make the VMDKs.

Am I missing stuff by using VirtualBox; should I be sacrificing a new MMC card to the Gods of Mer?
No, VirtualBox experience is very similar to tablet one - except tablet one has rescue menu and advanced backlight.
