qgil, many thanks for this. I remember watching the miniature development many years ago (just seems like it) and now so pleased to have this finally working. You are my hero of the week.

For info, I have cssu installed and have no orientation issue, but then I lock my N900 in landscape. I think I may well be the only user on here that doesn't want portrait (except for MeBook).

Thanks again, I'm off to play some Chess :-)
