So far for the good news ... I can start it (the little app of vte and sakura) on the emulator, but I do not see anything but a white block (black for sakura) and the keyboard. Entering 'exit' stops the program, entering 'ls >somefile' creates the file, so the terminal-part seems to work, but getting output on the screen is the challenge...

Any help is welcome
Maybe Sakura uses custom GTK widgets (or doesn't use GTK widgets at all), I don't know if the iRex refresh hooks would work for them. Leafpad displays stuff fine, so we do know that apps like this should work. Could you try including the usual e-ink files (like you did with Xournal) and manually call the irex_display_update function (or a direct ioctl() call)? That way we can see if the trouble is in getting the display to refresh, or if for some reason there is nothing being drawn to the screen itself.
