[Xastir] 1.9.4 and problem with new Ubuntu 10.04

[Lee Bengston]

I just re-read your post and realized your session went down after
starting Xastir not after starting the script.  At any rate, I hope
the clean install does the trick.  Based on other email traffic, it
appears that several people have Xastir working fine in Ubuntu 10.04.

Regards,
