I doubt the Embedded team is planning to write an entire GUI... There's plenty 
of good ones that already exist. In reality, it'll probably end up being 
whatever the user installs, but things such as Opie are not yet in Portage so 
they might be added for this purpose. I'm not really doing much with Embedded 
yet, so someone else might know better what's going on...

Well we're nowhere near GUIs right now.  We're still planning for the
base system.  We'll just add current available stuff to portage, rather
than write our own GUI.
