So,
I had added the following to dbus:
gconftool-2 -t string -s >
/apps/geoclue/master/org.freedesktop.Geoclue.GPSDevice /dev/gps0
(where gps0 is a symlink to my usb gps device)
I used qdbusviewer (which is from qt-devel-tools, for future googlers) to look
at what was saved,
but I didn't find any reference to geoclue or gypsy. I also saw no signs of a
gypsy service
running. BTW: the navit mailing list and irc channel are pretty quite :{
But one step at a time, I'll just work on getting gypsy working (with any
assistance greatly
appreciated)...
