Depending on the area and the zoom level, you may get missing
squares on terraserver/toposerver.  Just has to do with which images
they have available.

When you say "deselected" it, does that mean you clicked on to
un-highlight it and then hit the "OK" button, or you clicked on it
and then hit the "Cancel" button to make the dialog go away?  Unless
you click "OK", you're not changing your selections.

You can always kill Xastir then go into your
~/.xastir/config/selected_maps.sys file and delete the offending
lines, or just delete the file altogether and reselect your maps
from scratch when you next start up Xastir.
