I just read through your write-up about this on the wiki.  You note that
the first time you start xastir, it starts up with a tiny window.

This was a bug in a relatively old version of xastir --- what version of
xastir are you getting by doing the apt-get?  It should not happen with any
of the 1.8.x versions, and probably only happened in one or two of the 1.7.x
versions.
