I'll bet you're using Lesstif instead of OpenMotif, or perhaps an
OpenMotif with that particular bug.

It's a bug in the Motif widget set that you're currently using in
any case.  I don't have that bug with OpenMotif on OpenSuSE-10, but
several others have reported it when they use Lesstif.

These are the sliders in the current Xastir:

On the left:
------------
Posit TX Interval (min)
Object/Item TX Interval (min)
GPS Check Interval (sec)
Dead-Reckoning Timeout (min)
New Track Time (min)
RINO -> Objects Interval (min), 0=Disabled
Snapshot Interval (min)

On the right:
-------------
Station Ghosting Time (min)
Station Clear Time (hours)
Station Delete Time (days)
Serial Inter-Char Delay (ms)
New Track Interval (degrees)
Internet Map Timeout (sec)
