How about putting the e17 windows manager on the pandora???
I have seen it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbqx_HdLs-k running on a neo1973, so the pandora hardware would run it easily

I've never understood what's so good about e17. The only notable difference I've ever found is there's a lot of scary pointless animations. Just wait till you load a few seizable programs on the pandora though and watch the e17 animations go CHUNK! :blink:

It's too fancy, and not commonly used enough to be a likely candidate for the default.

Just watched their demo video.
To me it looks choppy and irritatingly slow.
eye candy rates far less than responsiveness.

I used to use E17 when I had physically 2 monitors.
But it never was totally "stable" and before I ditched it to go back to windowmaker I started experiencing "rot" with e17: longer it was up the slower it ran.

For software only rendering it's fine but I have this suspicion that with technologies like opengl/openvg going more mainstream that the 'e' stuff is starting to show its age. Too bad they didn't have something stable to release when 'e17' was innovative 5-6 years ago.
