Anyway IMO we need to have an IPC to use in the platform.

I think its important to have an xml library, what is here
to replace libxml2 ? (maybe I'm missing something...)

+1 for the ooh-aah factor heh

I am privately embracing Clutter myself, I think its wrong
to consider it as a drop in replacement for GTK+,
right now I would probably recommend Clutter or another
leading canvas like hippo-canvas, to do anything really
fancy in a UI...

just pointing out that the next generation mozilla (xulrunner)
will also sport a portable embeddable GTK+ widget... although I
dont really have an opinion about what we should push in
this regard...


Anyway I should get back to work... thanks for starting this
thread, Im also interested to hear what people have to say ;-)
