Another thing you can do now is get rid of the lines setting orientation.
And change orientation in ad hoc mode, for example from kual orientation button, before starting galculator.

#!/bin/sh
init_orientation=`/usr/bin/lipc-get-prop com.lab126.winmgr orientationLock`
/usr/bin/lipc-set-prop com.lab126.winmgr orientationLock R

GALCULATOR_CONFIG=/mnt/us/extensions/galculator/galculator.conf \
GTK_IM_MODULE=kindle \
GTK2_RC_FILES=/mnt/us/extensions/galculator/pixmaps/gtkrc \
/mnt/us/extensions/galculator/usr/bin/galculator

/usr/bin/lipc-set-prop com.lab126.winmgr orientationLock ${init_orientation}

thanks again.. that should be ok as a temporary fix.. till you or twobob can do it from within the source..

I was gonna shove a toggle on the menu and remove the O_Blah hardcoding.
However... seems like you have it in hand

Glad I could help
Remember that I didn't have your patched source so I just changed app title. If you had made more changes you will still have to post your updated binary

Edit: Toggle in the menu is a great idea. Go on!

[twobob]

yeah. Ill provide a diff (or two) RSN.

away today so tomorrowish

got rid of the lines..
but there is a side effect in that.. reading orientation is changed..
after running galculator, books open sideways..
using orientation kual button didn't seem to have any effect..
toggle from inside the app.. as twobob is planning.. may be best..

If you got rid of the lines, galculator can't change orientation any more!?
Why kual button doesn't work is another question. I didn't try it.

Sorry, baf.. i goofed again.. i had only removed 2 of the 3 lines.. i hadn't removed the line which actually does the rotation.. this one:

/usr/bin/lipc-set-prop com.lab126.winmgr orientationLock R

now did it and everything works as you indicated..

I've made some trivial change to the updated gcalculator package:

1) Set width to 68 and height to 33 in the .conf file, to make all the buttons display properly on Kindle PW (it should be tested also on Kindle Touch)
2) Switched again buttons "zero" and "comma"
3) Set "advanced mode" and "formula entry" as first-start settings (don't know if this meets everybody's tastes)
4) Removed the submenu entry structure in KUAL (I don't see the point for a gcalculator->gcalculator path, but maybe I'm missing something)

[twobob]

There was point... but since the orientation is now most likely to be handled "internally" that moment is gone...

Thanks for your changes, I and my 5 hours sleep, thank you : )

Bugfix: display problem fixed (sorry for multiple posts)

[twobob]

hey... dont worry about multiple post. and thanks for the assist.

[Aeris]

I like beta-testing :P waiting for your next linux port! A graphical agenda would be a nice one (by now there is only a command line version if I'm not wrong)

[twobob]

been working on http://clayo.org/osmo/

seems to have screwed the pooch on it though somewhere and of course it's not under version control... sigh...

so.. yeah.. few more days now. duh

[Aeris]

OMG, osmo would be fantastic!

I apply for testing and bugfixing if you succeed!

[twobob]

I already had it running once... sigh..

GIT. must remember to GIT things. doh
