I've got:

root at om-gta02:~# opkg status moko-gtk-engine
Package: moko-gtk-engine
Version: 0.1.0+svnr4734-r0
Depends: moko-gtk-theme, gtk+ (>= 2.12.11), libatk-1.0-0 (>= 1.20.0),
pango (>= 1.18.3), libcairo2 (>= 1.6.4), libgobject-2.0-0 (>= 2.16.4),
libgmodule-2.0-0 (>= 2.16.4), libc6 (>= 2.6.1), libglib-2.0-0 (>=
2.16.4)
Status: install user installed
Architecture: armv4t

root at om-gta02:~#

And TangoGPS looks fine.

There seems to be a strange problem with gtk apps that, when first
loaded, they appear to freeze, but if you go back to "home" then
select the open app from the top drop down list again, they work fine.
It's an odd one to reproduce though, so I won't file a ticket yet.

Joseph
