Umm... I guess the subject line contains the question, right?

Well, the emulator does not use DirectFB because there is no way to use
it for GPE Phone Edition.
G*PE)^2 explicitely uses X11 and GTK+ for the GUI. Since there is not
decent GTK+ port for DirectFB and especially DirectFB would lack X11
features we need to run the framework also the emulator does not use it.

Does that answer your question?
If not, feel free to ask for more details!

Cheers
