Hi everyone!

I've been developing a GTK app for my TS-7390 and it requires to be the first 
and only app running on the device without a window environment. I already 
managed to make it boot in the linuxrc-fastboot script, I commented the call to 
icewm on the ts7390-init script and everything is working fine except for a 
couple of details:

-It takes about 37 seconds from powering the TS to actually being able to work 
on the GTK app. For my project its a lot, I wonder if there is a way to make it 
run faster like the DFB-FastGUI-Demo which runs in less than 10 secs!

-9 out of ten times the program runs ok but there are occasions that the 
program never starts even though I forced the script to run my app until pidof 
finds a PID for the program.

I asked for help to the Technologic Systems support team (thanks Derek!) and he 
told me to recompile my GTK program for use with DFB instead of GTK+X11 and to 
do that I should follow these steps: 
http://www.directfb.org/wiki/index.php/Projects:GTK_on_DirectFB

To follow those steps I needed some extra space (which my device didn't have) 
so I created a bottable SD 4Gb SD card and made the 4th partition bigger.

With all the space issues solved I followed the steps of the tutorial and tried 
(but couldn't) install libdirectfb-0.9-25 and libdirectfb-dev which results in 
not being able to configure pango correctly.

I'm not really sure what to do anymore. Anyone has been able to compile GTK for 
use with DFB on a TS-7xxx?

Thanks!
Diego
