However, there are many important apps I'm using that don't make use of GTK at all. For example: OpenVPN, Subversion, rsync, gnu tar, traceroute, SSH, etc.

So my question is will "every" app need to be recompiled for use with OS2008 for some reason? Or is it just GUI based apps that will *absolutely* require it.

For me this would make a big difference in how quickly I could update my N800 (or get an N810 )

Thanks!
This has also been in my mind because I'm using Claws for email and I wish it will ported to OS 2008. How many developer are going to port apps to OS 2008 anyway?
