Hi,

I have been cleaning up the man page and in-program help page a bit and
come across a couple of points I can't explain:

What does the command line -f flag actually do?
 -f, --force-position   force display of position even it is invalid


The mouse click help section (from the Help menu) says:
"Middle mouse button: Display position again"

what does that mean? does it still work?
If the middle mouse click was free, I think it might be nice if it
triggered the canvas to redraw with the map centered on the click
position. Even better would be middle-drag to move it around as well.


another thing I couldn't figure out: how to make keyboard shortcuts for
the main Options and Help menus? I could add it to some (like the Map Control button) but other places the _ is simply put into the label name.
The Route List button is made with the same command as Map Control but 
won't parse the underscore.

any ideas?

I am not sure if new bug reports get forwarded here or to the sf-svn
mailing list or nowhere; if not the new titles are:

- small fonts remain after PDA mode
- new subdirs in map_koord are not added to Map Control list
- --geometry command line control is broken
- "n" to disable night mode doesn't work
- signalposreq(): use mkstemp
- preview rectangle refresh

see http://bugzilla.gpsdrive.de/



Also I noticed gpsdrive svn's version of the Debian build control rules
still include some mysql stuff upon install,

debian/template:
"Template: gpsdrive/initdb
Type: boolean
Default: true
Description: Create and initialize the mysql-table?
 Do you want to run 
       geoinfo.pl --create-db --create-defaults
...."


thanks,
Hamish
