No, the default for trail_segment_time is 45.  For
trail_segment_distance it's 1.

If your LANG setting is something other than "C" or "en_US", Xastir
can read/write the wrong strings from/to the config file on
shutdown/startup, causing something like this to happen.  It's
common these days for Linux to have something like this in there
instead:

    echo $LANG
    en_US.UTF-8

Which can easily mess things up.
