I'm hesitant to use cvs with other products because their code is less 
likely to be stable. (:

The xastir developers have spoiled us; the latest xastir via CVS is 
nearly always 100% reliable.  For those of you who haven't dealt with 
other projects, this is not always the case.


If you've got a working xastir 1.7, then using cvs to get the latest 
code and simply leaving everything else on your system alone is 
probably going to work out just fine.

If you've got weird stuff happening with words on the menus getting 
truncated, maybe you've got font issues, or maybe it's related to the 
lesstif vs. openmotif problems (IIRC, lesstif is the less desirable 
option), but I'm just guessing.  If you want to upgrade xastir anyway, 
upgrade it and see if the problem is still there.
