Brian, I'm not sure how helpful this will be, because it's just my "educated guess" (or maybe just a 'guess'). But I would posit that all of foxtrotgps's screen layout is done through libglade.
I use foxtrotgps on the Freerunner (Debian), and on my Gentoo and Ubuntu desktops. The desktop versions have slightly different layouts than the FR version (control buttons such as zoom in/out, info, show up on the side panel rather than the top, and the config window splits the screen, rather than taking over the screen like it does on my FR). I would guess that that's either because libglade is doing layout on the fly, or because the package maintainer for debian's armel version of foxtrotgps has patched the glade config (data/foxtrotgps.glade in the source tree). It'd probably be a good idea to check in with him and find out. If you find out for sure, please report back to the list. This has been a mystery that I've been wondering about myself (and haven't had the time to dig into it). ~James On Mon, Dec 13, 2010 at 10:13:19AM -0800, Brian Wilson wrote: > I am putting foxtrotgps onto a car computer with a 7" 800x480 screen. > The computer runs Debian + Matchbox on a Via C7 Mini-ITX board. > FoxtrotGPS runs fine on it already but I want to be able to tune it > for the small screen. > > I can see that there is an openmoko version done for its very small screen. > > How is the variant managed for Openmoko?
