[chirp_devel] Dialog quirks on Linux(es)

Can you tell me the git hash of what you're testing? I just made some changes to this yesterday (and broke something in the process, the fix for which is in the queue).

Also, can you show screenshots? It sounds like the two linuxes are opposite of each other, which I wouldn't expect to be the case, but pictures might help.
