Yes, ipkg is supposed to give an error if you try to install both gpe-dm
and nullxdm at the same time.

Most GPE applications already hide the pointer while it's inside their
window. The development version of matchbox can do this for the whole
screen, though it isn't tied into the GPE touchscreen detection utility
yet.

I think mmenu and xstroke not docking is symptomatic of them being too
old. I know mallum has versions that can dock properly on his web page,
not sure if they are in Familiar yet.

That's more or less what it's supposed to do. Which apps were you
trying it with?

"Autolock" is maybe a misnomer. It actually locks the display when the
machine is suspended. If you use it together with ipaq-sleep this
should give you true automatic locking.

mbcontrol -exit. I thought there was a "Log out" menu entry under
System, but maybe that's only on my machine and not yet in the packages.

The gpe-login.buttons stuff is actually out of date: that file isn't
used any more with the current versions. Instead the button handling is
done with keylaunch, which is run from gpe-login.setup. I guess this
isn't happening for you for some reason.
