[Xastir] Maps, Defaults, and Chooser

[Gerry Creager N5JXS]

I'm not going to be able to examine the radar problem for a couple of 
weeks.  Perhaps the first week of January, if I can keep my schedule a 
little bit clear.

Folks, if there are radar problems, please let me know!!!!!!  I don't 
get to see the xastir page, and right now we're clear of echos. And, 
these mosaics work on the nationally available pages I provide in 
concert with a National Weather Service project.  I looks at the 
NWS-related pages daily.

If we have to figure out what's broke, we can do that, but telling me 
once in a while in random group-related e-mail is not making the trouble 
shooting much easier!
