This is because you're using GraphicsMagick and the Ubuntu binary, which
is Xastir 1.9.4.  The fix for this was committed to Xastir CVS (1.9.7) a week 
or two ago, so you *must* use CVS xastir to use Xastir with GraphicsMagick
on Ubuntu 9.10.

I thought the package maintainer for the debian package of Xastir had changed
it to pull in ImageMagick instead, but perhaps that hasn't propagated to the
Ubuntu packages yet.
