I've had some success porting gnome libraries to the iLiad. This means that I'm able to get native Gnome applications working.

So far, I've compiled Lifera (an RSS reading application) and Rubrica (Contact Management).

Lifera seems to work well. However, it continues to try to put the cache files in /home/root, no matter what $HOME is set to.

Rubrica allows me to enter and contacts, but for some reason, will not display them on the iLiad.

I"m attaching some screenshots. I not sure if any end-user apps will come of this until packaging, keyboard input, and refresh issues are ironed out.
