We just use a URL to snag them, so we create the URL out of what we
know of your current view in Xastir, request that image, then
georeference it and display it to you.  We do that a couple of
different ways for the topo and satellite images from there.  If you
have an example URL for snagging a color image we could look into
adding them to our repertoire for Xastir.
