You would probably have to install X11 and GTK on the Zaurus for that
to work. I haven't tried it with my Zaurus, but it was possible for
the old Ipaqs with GPE. Have a look at http://www.handhelds.org/ for
supported devices. An alternative may be the Nokia N8x0 Tablets or
even an Asus eeePC and similar MiniPCs like a Sony UX50/UX90
(expensive though). The all come with Linux except for the Sony, but I
am not sure if they all have GTK installed.
