<p><b>Regarding the configuration of the widgets, our idea is to use Kinect
as the input source and since most widgets can be moved around by
clicking on themselves rather than the side menu bar. <br>Per resizing,
we are trying to map two cursors in the X11 and use two clicking to

that's still under progress. <br>Other configurations like settings,
rotating will just be discarded since this is not going be become a
