Look at the pygps glade files. The widgets are laid out differently
for the existing three screen resolutions. For portrait, I have a
notebook with the tabs on the top. For landscape, I have a notebook
with the tabs on the left. And for humongo (768x1024) I don't bother
with the notebook, but instead have everything laid out in a table.

Yep.

Yep. I don't know from all this "ConfigureNotify on the root window"
thing. My X knowledge is very limited. If somebody can tell me how
to do it in pygtk, I'll be a very happy camper.
