Thanks; found it in Yum.

"gpsbabel -i gpx -f old.gpx -x simplify,error=1m -o gpx -F new.gpx"
seems to work nicely to remove redundant midpoints from Maemo Mapper 
tracks, at least if what I want to do is plot them, e.g. input to
merkaartor for OSM.

For tagging photos I'd want to preserve the time information (and maybe 
in general, elevation too), i.e. only remove midpoints if they can be 
reconstructed by linear interpolation. Is that what you mean ?
