[Xastir] radar maps

All this talk about using GEO files to access radar maps has caused me 
to download the appropriate .geo files.  But they aren't working, and it 
appears that at least for me online tigermaps are broken, too.

Just to refresh everybody, I'm running Xastir under Solaris 8 on Sparc 
hardware.  CVS build 4-29-03
One additional complication, I also run it under VNC.  The desktop 
colors do look different under VNC than when I'm on the regular monitor, 
probably there is a color depth difference.

Xastir loads the .geo file and puts it in the map chooser.  I can select 
the .geo file, it downloads the file and displays a black box where the 
radar image should be.  So I did some checking, and I remember using 
online tigermaps a long time ago, maybe months, but havn't checked them 
scince then.  They don't work now either.

Imagemagick is apparently installed correctly. I'm running a CVS version 
of ImageMagick dated 10-1-02 (5.5.1) In /var/tmp/xastir_general_map.gif 
is the file.  I can type display and that file and the map appear 
correct.  If I have the .geo selected, then the radar map appears when I 
type display, and when I have tigermaps selected, the downloaded 
tigermap looks ok when I type display.  Neither works inside Xastir.

Man things do get complicated around here, don't they?

Thanks for all your time.
