X Window move mode, fonts and co.

Hello,

I just installed the familiar v0.3 distribution on my new iPAQ today.

I have some problems:

- sometime the X server enters a "move mode" where all stylus
   contacts translate into a "window move" command (the move
   icon appears and the window follows the stylus drag). It is then
   not possible to enter anything, as all you can do is move these
   windows around.

   Restarting the window manager does not help: I have to
   restart the X server.

   Does someone knows a better way to exit that mode ???

- the fonts are very small and difficult to read. The fonts in the
   screenshots at handhelds.org look actually more readable !?

   Does someone knows how to get better (larger) fonts ?

- I was able to add myself in the contact list. But then any new
   contact record I add is listed as Un-named and the content
   is lost (the contact appears empty when I open it). Exit and
   restart does not solve the problem.

   Any idea ?

- When using the V0.20 handhelds.org Linux distribution,
   I was able to get ppp working. I then installed familiar.
   I changed nothing to the desktop pppd configuration.
   Now pppd timeout (no response from the iPAQ), even
   while the login succeeded: when I restart minicom,
   I get binary data sent to me..

   Should I change the pppd options ? What config ?
