I don't know if wx will follow the user's global preference for this,
but I hope that can be made switchable.

Yes, my mistake, I put in the wrong name for the icon.  I had left it
"momentarily," and here it is a couple months later.

An all-portrait one-row panorama also can't estimate the vfov properly. 
Which is a shame, because it's a popular way to make architectural
quickies.

Amen.  I think nona needs to spit out progress information to feed the
progress bar, but that should be all that's required (that I know of) to
make it an alternative tool.

SRPMs would need to be built that don't depend, but can use, optional
stitcher packages like Helmut's pano12.
