My contention (see 
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg15454.html)
is that:

1) the mini gui does not work with distros using tk8.6.
2) keystick does not work correctly in at least some of the
   distro/kernel combinations with LinuxCNC2.7 that i tested.

So _no_ development on a joints_axes branch is required to fix them.
If someone fixes them, adapting to joints_axes is a separate problem.

After wasting another day working on these guis, i think that:
1) the mini gui tk8.6 failure is due to more complete checking of
   geometry management in tk8.6 and i have a simple fix that
   seems to work.

2) There is not much documentation on usage and i have never used keystick,
   so it may be possible that i just don't know how to use it and/or
   the problems are specific to setups for keyboard repeats (although
   i have not changed default settings using jessie/xfce/uspace nor
   lucid/rtai).

   It would be helpful if some testers would try the keystick sim config:
      configs/sim/low_graphics/keystick.ini
   and test incremental and continuous jogging and report results along
   with the distro/kernel/LinuxCNC_version

It is curious that there is more interest in two seldom-used guis than
there is in the long-envisaged joints_axes updates.
