	Pandora is ARM based, so an x86 build wouldnt' work at all.

	Shadow Desktop is also QT 3.x based (3.3.x IIRC), and QT4.x is 
current (4.6 and 4.7 in most places), and porting source from QT4 to QT4 
is non-trivial (trust me, I looked, many years ago :)

	Still, it would be pretty easy to port QT3.x to Pandora and build 
Shadow Desktop against that.

	If anyone with a Pandora (other than me ;) shows up, let me know 
;)
