For all the instances I can imagine the flipping flags in the config
file can be dropped.
The problem is the current default horizontally flipped image.

Absolutely and accept your point about the GUI ... I just used that as
an example of how frustrating it is to have to work with a mirrored
mage.

The preferred mode of operation for most sites is a HD display and a
projector, the two displays in "mirror" mode (too many uses of the
word mirror here :-)) ... the display and projector get the same
image. The operator sees and navigates using the computer display not
inside the dome.
