Ok.  That's more info than I could glean from previous messages.
Do the Snapshot feature appear to affect this?  This sounds a bit
like some of the previous reports about Snapshot messing up map
updates.

If you turn it off and leave it off, does this problem go away?  If
so, it might have to do with the widget set not liking to do
multi-threading.  The snapshot code is the only thread that does GUI
stuff besides the main thread.
