Thanks, Kate. Those are good points. In the case of GPE the apps are already designed to be usable on a handheld, but with a stylus rather than fingers. My assumption is that GTK apps will never be able to provide the same look and feel as the Qt-based handheld UX, that good finger friendly behaviour will be hard to achieve (whether by using Hildon or just implementing it in the app), but that stylus usage will probably be fairly straightforward. Text input may be an issue -- it probably depends whether an on-screen keyboard is available which will act as a standard input method or whether it is bound up with Qt widgets.
