The 'menu' section seems *unaware* of the current mode set using buttons -- but the reverse is just fine!
only "bug" then is that using the on-applet buttons to change modes seems to not be reflected in the menus. so that turning text on or off using the buttons will not alter the state of the checkmark next to the text flag in the menu.

Thanks for the update Darren. I installed the new version from extras devel with no problems. I chmoded my .ini file and now my GPS position is saved to the .ini file. Great! 
I checked out the planet and star labels and my only suggestion is to up the magnitude on the stars that get names to make it a little less cluttered. It looks like all the stars shown are named so it may not be possible.
Anyway, this is a great applet that has a permanent spot on my NIT. Thanks for all your hard work!

If you have other ideas that 'make sense' for an applet like this, please suggest them.

I updated it and looks better and mchronos.ini is now in ~/.mchronos which is better.
BUT:
- it is soooooo slow far slower than the previous version. The buttons below respond after more than 20 seconds.
- at this update (and previous ones) the location is reset to some US location 49 N 98 west.

I haven't personally noticed any change in the speed of the app. Again, I would need to get feedback from others on their own experiences. Back in message #41 of this thread, you also indicated a slowness problem, but no one else was able to confirm. I will agree that the 'button' presses are 'unreliable', so perhaps use the 'menu' buttons if you can to see if that helps.
Which menu do you mean ?

Well, yes, the 'default' lat/long is (and always was) stored in the 'ini' file, so you would have to change that to your own personal preference (see README). Otherwise, the package default is near *my* location

Home -> Applet Settings -> MChronos

EDIT: Don't forget the instructions in msg #73 about changing the permission bits on the ini file:
chmod 777 mchronos.ini

Thanks a lot, I didn't realize it, this works MUCH better !
I updated via the update function of the Application Manager so I didn't notice any README.

The location of the README is mentioned in #73 ('/home/user/.mchronos'), and the reminder that the README is also available on my software webpage is mentioned in #78 (http://darethehair.googlepages.com/software.html).

as for how easy it is to go from pyGTK to pyQt, no clue...
Heh, i was wondering a bit why the gps way of getting my location was giving me a slightly different daily solar track then when i did it by hand, but now i see that i got my longitude and latitude reversed.
anyways, now that the ini is in a much more accessible place, and one have the ability to write to it using the menu, i guess there is no biggie to have a configuration window.
only "bug" then is that using the on-applet buttons to change modes seems to not be reflected in the menus. so that turning text on or off using the buttons will not alter the state of the checkmark next to the text flag in the menu.
