RE[2]: I have it not clear in my mind what GPE is

Thank you for your answer sukru.
So the situation is:
GNOME <-> GTK
GPE <-> GTK
Is it possible to hack on GPE using a PC, ie without having a PDA?
(I'm not saying it makes sense, just curious to know whether one like me could start contributing coding and testing just his Linux box)

GPE is an embedded programming environment. It comes with many application that can be used on PDAs, cell phones and alike.
While GNOME is the GTK based alternative to KDE, GPE is the embedded counterpart (as an alternative to QPE, which is licensed under QPL). Their main differences are (aside from the license): QPE is C++ based while GPE is C and GPE uses full X11 while QPE is based on framebuffer display. Both of them are mature now (yet QPE is now replaced with newer alternatives from trolltech).
