What do you have "New Track Time" and "New Track Interval" set to in
File->Configure->Timing?

Have Station->Filter Display->Display Trail enabled?

Are you noticing any other problems like your latitude/longitude not
getting remembered between Xastir runs?  This might be an indication
that you have something other than "LANG=C" or "LANG=en_US" set in
the xterm you start Xastir from.  This affects the
scanf/sscanf/fscanf functions which Xastir uses from libc, and
messes up the configuration file saving/restoring.
