Which makes me think that some of these installs put Xastir into the
OS-standard location (/usr/*) instead of the
user-installed-application location (/usr/local/*).  If you've run
Xastir before on the system you'll have a ~/.xastir/ directory set
up with your per-user config files.  If you then deinstall and
reinstall Xastir in a new location, the paths in your per-user
config files will be wrong, it won't be able to find maps, etc.

Actually a warning.  If you don't normally use Festival (speech)
from within Xastir, don't start it, and ignore that warning.  It
won't hurt anything.
