Im pretty sure there are others out there with some suggestions in mind.
maybe someone will come up with something you can use.

VGBA Maemo 3.5

|-left--|--right-|

with the Title being the guide for the size of the buttons.
hope this helps for window mode.

Btw: If you want to scale the game window, I've heard it's possible to have fb-controller scale a region arbitrarily (leaving a buttons region unscaled). See mplayer sources for implementation.
Very nice emu fms. It was a little shocking to see an emulated 3d game running at 10+ fps.

Alright! Can't wait to try.
Now all we need is a DS emu. (yeah, sarcasm)

I've only tried it with a couple of games, it seems to run at a very decent speed, once sound has been disabled. The sound on the games I've tried doesn't really work anyways.
I agree that the on-screen buttons need to be changed. My thumbs are in the way when I'm trying to make Mario jump and throw turnips.
I don't want to lose windowed mode, at least not until a fast way is discovered to fill the screen. The emulator's screen looks so lonely in the middle of the big full screen.
Here is a screen shot of Super Mario Advance. Our protagonists are squatting and grunting, sweat drops flying...
