Does the snapshot feature in your installed version of Xastir
(that you'll be using for the exercise) work perfectly now?  This
would be a good time to test it.

When you first turn on the feature, Xastir will write a snapshot
file.  If you turn it off and back on, it'll overwrite it with
another one.  If you leave it on, it'll write them at the rate
specified in File->Configure->Timing.

Make sure it works first before we spend any time writing Perl
scripts to manipulate the generated images:

     ~/.xastir/tmp/snapshot.png
     ~/.xastir/tmp/snapshot.geo
     ~/.xastir/tmp/snapshot.kml

You might also see other extensions in there like ".gif" or ".xpm".
