xgridloc is a GTK+ graphical version of gridloc and performs the same basic functions, but additionally it can use xplanet to display the home and DX locations and the great circle path between them. gridloc is a program that accepts latitude and longitude and returns the Maidenhead grid locator. By default, xgridloc wants to install .xgridlocrc to the installing user's $HOME. This SlackBuild patches that out of make install, and instead drops it in the doc directory so that end users can copy it down themselves. xplanet is an optional dependency.
