But I didn't know GTK+ at all until last week, so I'll have to do a bit of research.

I assumed those were just decoration; clearer than narrow lines.

It appears they are parabolas; it seems it would be simpler to do the math to figure out which side you're on; plus that makes it less pixel-size dependent.

As far as riding the bezel goes, I can't reproduce it myself (but then again, I'm running in landscape mode, so I have only one bezel that's really an issue). I suspect some sort of rounding error, and I have some ideas on how I could fix it, but I'd need you to beta test packages I'd send over to you, because I don't want to cut releases with changes I'm not that sure about...

I'm not at all certain it's a bug, yet. May just be my screen. So unless you're pretty sure a rounding error is probable, I wouldn't bother...

As far as the portrait version; it works great in full-width; however, with the navigator on the side, it's almost as non-usable as before. Now both pads are ~80% visible... How about a test for the width; if it's too narrow to fit both fully, align it so the alpha pad is fully visible, and the other truncated. If there's enough width, center it like now.

I'm starting to get the hang of it, but the letter I want is always hiding on the wrong side of my fingers and stylus. :/
