Obviously I haven't seen Harmattan yet, but since Harmattan = MeeGo 1.0,
and GTK+/Clutter is part of the core supported MeeGo platform, won't
GTK+ work and be supported already on Harmattan?

It seems to me that we're better off, as I said, either investing in
making GNOME development more fun in terms of tools, or having some kind
of competition to get as many apps as we can ported to Harmattan as soon
as possible after the release.

Cheers,
Dave.
