I think a more small screen friendly window manager would
be nice also. having root window menus really don't work
that well once you have windows covering everything. some-
thing with a small task bar and menu launcher would be
nice. also something a little more visually pleasing
than twm would be nice too especially for doing demos.
I know there were talks of sawmill what about icewm or
even a scaled down enlightenment (how many advanced features
can you opt to not compile during ./configure???) I also
liked the idea of the virtual desktop with the movement being
done with the joypad. another thing is right click??? wince
seems to do this with a click and hold still thing? and then
also maybe a button modifier for middle click?

Just some thoughts
