I'm trying to get a raster image displayed as a map in Xastir and
apparently missing a step. I georeferenced with QGIS by following this
tutorial:

http://qgis.spatialthoughts.com/2012/02/tutorial-georeferencing-topo-sheets.html

I've now got a .tif in /usr/local/share/maps/. Xastir indicates that
GeoTIFF is compiled in, but after re-indexing maps, the new map is not
listed in the map chooser.

Here are the map specs:
