This is why I specifically mention it.

Right now I'm facing a hack: if the screen is 1200x900, then
we assume it's an XO. (both screen and keyboard) A hardcoded
locale list is then consulted to determine if multiply/divide exists.
Eeeeeeeeew. Save me from this.

BTW, last I looked it was painful to deal with D-BUS. I'd like
to do things with as few libraries as possible, in plain C.
