[maemo-developers] Xlib on Maemo?

[From: Damian Frank]

Hi! I'm working on porting an existing xlib-based application to the Maemo  
platform. I'm trying to understand whether keeping xlib is a feasible  
option. (I know very little about GTK development.)

It seems like using xlib directly to create & draw to windows works fine,  
except that we don't get the benefit of theming and the window size is too  
large. Ignoring theming for the moment, can the size issue be worked  
around? (Seems the window manager ignores my requests for window size.)  
Are there any other gotchas that are going to make me wish I was using  
GTK?  Is there any way to use the input methods without using GTK, for  
instance?

Any information would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

(And apologies if this is covered elsewhere, but an exhaustive search  
turned up little.)
