[Xastir] gpsd issues...possible solutions

[Richard E. Polivka]

I did a diff between 2.23 and 2.25 tonight. The only change that agrees 
with my hackings-on is the one to xgpsspeed. The others did not show up.

I am currently running 2.23 and will try 2.25 and see what, if any, 
differences there are.

Time to get a bedtime snack (house is quiet - no 2nd or 3rd harmonic 
interference),then go horizontal myself.

73,
