I don't know if that's true...

Certainly, Hildon was seen as a Nokia initiative, and wasn't adopted (or
adapted) by the other GNOME-based mobile stacks. I don't know what they
used (if anything) to solve the various problems Hildon solved. Since it
has not been adopted elsewhere, and Nokia are dropping it, the only
people who appear to care what happens to Hildon now are the hundreds of
developers who wrote Hildon applications for Maemo. And most of them are
not around here, I guess.

That said, it is disappointing that there was essentially no response
from anyone involved in the GTK+ toolkit as to what changes would be
required in GTK+ to allow Hildon to be developed & maintained as a
useful independent project on top of stock GTK+.

Cheers,
Dave.
