However, I saw the guess I took at her heading was a little off, so I tried to correct it.  I clicked on the dead reckoned icon (kinda faded looking), and selected MODIFY OBJECT.  When I changed the heading and pressed the modify button, the object went back to it's original location and started drifting with the new heading.  I had expected it to simply change course from it's updated location.  Is this desired behavior, or is it better as it is?

No, not desired behavior.  That's what the code does right now
though.  There's a feature request to correct this.

Also, if you place an object with a course/speed and stop/restart
Xastir, the object will start again where you initially place it.
Again, undesirable.
