Supergeek: You pose a very interesting question. I am not qualified to comment on, or necessarily even understand, the technical aspects you discuss re the Hildon UI, but I suppose the answer might in part boil down to why any of us choose to utilize (or experiement with) different window managers on our primary Linux boxes. Is it principally only for cosmetics or, somehwat more substantively, for greater ease of use. For my own interest, will the OPENBOX-ROX or KDE adaptations for the Nokia lead to easier use. Whether additional applications might become accessible through such features is for me a big question mark.
