Sounds fine. While you're at it (if you're familiar with libquran), can you 
look into why I might be getting a segfault at the end of running testquran?:

(gdb) run
Starting program: /home/haq/projects/quran/libquran/.libs/testquran

I get exactly the same running it on the zaurus (the audio works fine, too 
BTW). Once this problem is sorted and the multi-user stuff removed, we just 
need to re-jig the UI to fit into the (much) smaller space.
