Hi there,

We have been working on that already in the HildonDesktop
(http://www.karoliinasalminen.com/blog/?p=143). Scaling it up was just
first step. Reworking the dependencies would be next one. Keep it touch
if you feel like helping with that.

Br,

P.S.: Code is out there in the open (is it this one?
https://stage.maemo.org/svn/maemo/projects/haf/branches/maemo-af-desktop
/hildon-desktop/).
