Would it be possible to put the dialogs in a resizable container? That way 
all the buttons and fields can be reached via scroll-bars. Not very nice 
maybe but at least workable for any size screen. Maybe it can be even be 
done so that the resizable container is not visible if the dialog fits on 
screen, so if the screen is big enough you will not notice the change. If 
this is would be possible then it would save a lot of work to get a 
workable system with a 640x480 (or smaller) screen. I wonder, does a 
PocketPC run Cygwin, how about PocketXastir then...?

I also have a laptop with a 640x480 grey-scale screen, I run X windows 
(XFree86 3.3.5,) with a virtual screen configuration of 788x640 (the C&T 
chipset has some atrifacts, 788 is the experimental limit, hence the 
strange number :-) and 640 proved to give enough height for most 
applications). That's maybe another possibility. Xastir can be resized such 
way that the map fills the screen while the menu and status bar fall off 
the visual screen to utillize the screen maximal for map data.

Kind regards,

Henk.
