Looks good to me now.

I'm on Gentoo unstable, which is usually pretty up to date.  And I know
the gtk2 to gtk3 transition has a bunch of stuff flaking out.  I'm not
gonna worry about it.  Python + gtk is way out of my comfort zone.

My gtk+ is at Version 3.18.8

The Skytraq NMEA is reporting that is it using several GNSS and one
Baidu bird for the 3D fix.  But the gpsd json output only shows the one
baidu bird as used. Looks like the GPGSA data is getting overwritten by
the BDGSA data.
