Before I put it into to extras-devel:

http://www.zdez.org/minigpsd_0.30-rc3_armel.deb

It includes a TASKBAR control (yes, you can replace one of bookmarks/contacts/applications with it). (and a few other fixes/improvements including the bluetooth scan). But being a major refactoring, I need to test it more.

(Update - if the stand-alone app doens't work, redownload the deb. I now have scaled icons so you can see the status display magnified)
