Hi Kalle,
I guess FLTK apps are just an example of a category of apps 
that could almost run correctly on the system. These are some
other examples:
http://piipiip.net/~veli/maemo/
Without an application icon in the task navigator area there doesn't
appear to be a way to switch back to the app once another app 
has been launched. My use-case is - play "the dig" in between
reading the news :)
I think maemo should have some way of catering for this category 
of application rather than requiring a complete port.
Regards,
Chris
