I found that I had the same formattable.h error, but then I realized
I had never run "make install" on tn5250 since it overwrites my XTerm.
After installing tn5250, gnome-5250 compiled.  I must say, I'm
impressed!  I like the drop-downs so we won't have to remember cryptic
options.

Is there support for multiple session settings?  I was looking for
"File: Open" and "File: Save" to make profiles of sorts.  I admit, I
haven't tried out the session settings in preferences yet.

On the map setting, is there also a text version of the map number?  Or
do people who use other maps usually know the map number?  (I'm using
37, so it doesn't affect me, just a suggestion for end users who might
not know.)

I saw the message that said "not all keys are implemented" so I'm
probably pointing out the obvious here:
** WARNING **: unhandled key 0xFFE2 (Shift_R)
** WARNING **: unhandled key 0xFFE1 (Shift_L)

The only other problem I have right off is that I can't copy and paste
like in an xterm.  (Windows users are amazed at how fast I can copy and
paste, especially when it's just one word and I can double click it.)
Oh, and if copy/paste isn't too big a deal, does cursor positioning by
mouse-click follow?

Thanks!  This is a FANTASTIC start.
