Yes, we will most definitely have to look at reducing the footprint of
our application.  Hopefully we can do this just by trimming features,
as I really do not want to rewrite the whole UI to remove Qt.  That
would we too much work for the limited resources we have.  Perhaps I
will take a look at trimming down Qt itself.

Sounds good.  I didn't really expect the transparency support to be
there, it would have probably been too much for the processor anyway. 
I think we can work around it.

Thank you for your help.  I was authorized to buy a 770 so I will
hopefully get to play around with it soon.
