[Xastir] Re: Ubuntu 7.10 and XASTIR

[Tony Hunt]

Robert I am real suprised there has been no response to your query on this.
A search of the thread under the mail list seems to sugest you have no
replies.

I wonder if the very small window you get opening looks like a vertical
Cigar ? I wonder if you are using Gnome with the restricted drivers and say
a Nvidia Video card ? If this is all affirmative so far then have a look at
the thread earlier this month and the month before about "Cigar problem" ..

We have found that the Cigar issue seems to centre around Gnome and
Restricted Drivers with the   "Desktop Effects" enabled . Well thats how it
was for me.

Have a search for the "Desktop Effects" in the system menu from memory. Mine
was set to Normal and this caused the Cigars to appear. Setting it to OFF
fixed it along with using XFce and KDE desktops.
