[yocto] Building your own UI

[James Abernathy]

This may be a dumb question, but I'll ask anyway.

Suppose you have a project where you need a very custom user interface. Not
just a series of applications that appear on a desktop like you see in
sato, or Gnome, or KDE.  Basically your application becomes the UI.

I can see 2 approaches to this:

   1. Start with core-image-minimal and add the packages you need to
   support GFX, X11, and your application plus dependencies.
   2. Take core-image-sato and change the applications to be your subtasks
   , and the look-and-feel of the desktop.

What are the considerations of both approaches?
Is one better, or easier than the other?
How would you do this in Yocto?
Where do you look for information you need to accomplish this?
