GNOME developers are making various changes to the open source desktop environment that should make it more suitable for embedded environments. Future versions of GNOME will include improved compatibility with styluses and performance enhancements, according to GNOME Foundation director Murray Cumming on Friday. This will include a focus on the GTK+, a toolkit used by GNOME to create graphical user interfaces.

I do not know when you tried out GPE last time but with the GPE 2.7 and familiar 0.8.3 release coming close I already tried out some very nice snapshots. It seems a lot of bugfixing is going on : http://handhelds.org:8080/gpe/timeline and a lot of the known bugs seem to have been ironed out : http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/GPEToFixFor2_2e7 .
Of course I would not call it rock stable yet (and a lot depends on the platform you are using it, because remember lots of the underlaying stuff needed to be reversed engineered). Overall I got a very good impression, although some apps (especially the mediaplayer gpe-nmf) really need some extra work.
