I'm sorry you think so :(.

2 icons are there for few months, aren't they? Nobody sent better
solution so I haven't remove them.

And the size/color problem is because shr-theme (shr icons) have only
own navit.png
http://git.shr-project.org/git/?p=shr.git;a=blob_plain;f=shr-theme/icons/86x86/apps/navit.png;hb=HEAD
If you remove it (/usr/share/icons/86x86/apps/navit.png), then you'll see both 
icons from navit recipe

I was hopping that someone will send me some better icon, but you're
right its too long to wait, i can commit something like this
http://jama.homelinux.org/org.openembedded.shr.images/om-gta02/navitD.png
to shr-theme package.

Its only in RRECOMMENDS, so its sort of optional dependency and I guess
you can remove it. See:
# use espeak instead speechd
RRECOMMENDS = "gpsd espeak flite"

With config splitted to separete files you can replace osd.xml with you
favourite layout very easily.

dos reported 10 days ago that drag_bitmap="1" could work, so i commited
it to oe.dev repo, but not sure if you have that navit build already.

I said to you, that I won't commit patch creating 2 new not easily
managable configs (+ 3rd standard one), which will be overwritten with
each navit upgrade and merging user changes will be pain.

And that I'll commit it if you use xi:include in those configs to change 
only interesting parts and make it whole a lot easier for user changes.

IMHO I was right, because few revisions later navit moved menu
definition to navit.xml and all older configs make navit just SEGFAULT,
and updating all 3 configs with new menuitems and stuff like
/config/navit/vehicleprofile
/config/navit/layout
See:
http://trac.navit-project.org/ticket/506

That's why I had to "put time and effort into making navit work" at all,
by splitting configs with xi:include and including as much stuff from
navit shipped config as possible, so please stop complaining..

If you check logs of
http://git.openembedded.org/cgit.cgi/openembedded/tree/recipes/navit
then you'll see that my stuff got kicked in (really 100% sure though I
commited it to oe.dev :)), because nobody sent better stuff, which would
be compatible also with other distros in OE tree (no more SHR-specific
patches to any shr branch - see my other e-mail "[Shr-Devel] Status of
shr/merge branch"

Hmm that's my $2 :)
