Whoa.  800x480.  I thought my Zaurus was good at 640x480.

This is one of the things I'm going to have to get used to, hacking on this

I think I've just worked out what's been done here -- you've always got all
the items (both todo and timesheet tasks) in the GPE interface, but it's a
different code path to do that in the stock GPE interface.

By $DEITY my C code reading skills are rusty.
