Replying to myself, just for the record:

I gave it another try today. I tried to fix several things (mainly
concerning the per thread data structures) and got the threads started
up.

Well, until the WM thread runs into a situation where my tracing shows a
locking of a mutex, that the thread already owns.
I'm out at this point, because fixing that would need quite a lot
knowledge about the internals (of the port as well as nanox itself).

Compiling with NONETWORK enabled again leads to more problems, again
concerning private data structures. I guess the code never worked as it
is.

So, my only option is to build my own GUI and UI stuff. Question about
alternative GUI libs still stands, though ;)


Cheers,
Manuel
