contrast is much higher, for example, and even though I tried (my gtk
theme is still available for download, I should probably update it to
the one I'm currently using, which is slightly better) I don't think
you can get the same with gtk.

most importantly, though, gtk was specifically designed for a mouse
environment. just think of "prelight" and such. many of the assumptions
that gtk is built on are not true for the ipaq.

please don't get me wrong. I'm not a gtk hater, in fact the ipaq
software I'm writing myself is done with gtk, too. it's just that I
want to point out the shortcomings.
