Thanks to Nerochiaro for introducing us to RasterMan.
He has a windows manager that could be interesting for the R3 and 442, etc.
in his own words,
I'm the lead developer (benevolent dictator for life) of the enlightenment project (http://www.enlightenment.org) - windowmanager for x - but oh so much more under the bonnet these days (which is what is keeping us slow in releasing the next version as it's all a spare time effort). we also have split off all our graphics layers into separate libraries and trimmed them down - for embedded use (limited cpu, memory and disk environments). for interest here is a quick video player i cooked up over a few days to basically stop annoying me with dvd's, regions, physical media etc. here:

i wrote a quick article on it here that explains roughly what it is and why i wrote it:

it's far from "commercial quality" but then i haven't invested much time into it and have had no reason to. but it's an example of the kind of things that the libraries behind the windowmanager make it easy to do - in just plain boring old C. :)

I have been an E16 user for years, but never took the time to try development versions of E17. Would be very cool if the first place I tried it was on a 442!
