Without ever have done, or even thought of, something like this, I'll bet that E17 will work. Everything can be done with a GUI in Enlightenment. And, this past year or so of development was heavily based on porting it to a touchscreen phone.

Are EEEs so customizable ? Didn't know that
I'll have to get me one....as soon as one with 2+ GB RAM and a dual-core CPU comes out

So, you'd want a mouse friendly window manager? I would suggest openbox then.

I second the motion. I'm using it right now and enjoy it quite a lot. There's not a lot that I can't accomplish with just the mouse.

I believe he's referring to a touch screen, and not a mouse.

Well since a touch screen and a mouse can perform the same functions, it still applies.

I'd say e17 or openbox. Maybe matchbox, but it's not working correctly for me.

Re: Recoment a WM

isn't e17 the new wm of openmoko? and would that mean it works with a touchscreen?
