Reading the manual seems to be a good idea, sometimes ;-)
For anyone with a GF-1 who wants to use the LCD magnification to assist with
focus, this is what you do:
1. Fit manual lens
2. Switch camera on.
3. Press the left arrow key (marked with the focus assist frame).
4. Press MENU/SET.
Piece of antique urine!
Thanks for getting me trying again, Andrew.
