Antartica, I know you think embedding the erdm in the X11 lib means the end of porting to the iLiad but ...
The Matchbox window manager needs special care in the code.
The popup keyboard needs to be enabled or auto popped up as needed.
The frenetic busy LED needs to be turned off if launched via [SHELL] hack.
The buttons need special handling in order to operate with them (pagebar, up button etc...)
And many of the apps I've worked with need a fair amount of rework to make them into unzip-n-go applications that don't need things installed to the root filesystem.
Plus if there is anything you can update on the iLiad with a higher brick factor than the X11 library... I don't want to meet it.
I'm testing your abiword.
By the way, you realize only you and I likely have ldd on our iLiad's right?
