[Xastir] Maps Offline?

[Kurt Savegnago]

Stupid trigger finger.  Should read, I've fired up APRSISCE 32 "under"
WINE and get the tiles as dark as on a Windows XP machine.  Only thing
is my station is the only one on there and it doesn't get internet position reports like the XP machine running upstairs.  Weird in that it
will get the map tiles just fine but no other station's position reports.
Futzed with the menus to no avail.
