No, you don't need a .geo file for it.  Those are only for certain
images that don't have georeferencing information inherent in the
file format.

Check file permissions and directory permissions.  It's possible
that you don't have read permissions for directories/files, or
execute permission for directories.

If a Shapefile is not showing up in Map Chooser when you do an index
all, it can be either file/directory permissions, or it can be
because you don't have Shapelib compiled into Xastir properly.  I
can't think of another reason.
