[Linaro-dev] Embedded Qt (QWS) packages

[David Rusling]

Alexandros,
   I suspect that the interesting question is how QT interacts with Clutter
/ OpenGL(ES) not how it interacts with X.   I see a swing away from X, not
an integration with it, in all the upcoming dominant platforms.   That said,
a native embedded QT stack is an interesting 'head' and, providing good test
cases etc.
