[Xastir] Black online maps

[John Ronan]

Tom,

Apologies, I tell a lie, I've not built xastir on the 9.04 netbook at  
all, 1.9.4 is on it, built with Graphics Magick (from the repo I  
guess) and it is giving me a black screen with some of my own .geo  
files.

I'll get back to this later in the week hopefully.
