I think I have to agree with you.

I didn't see a lot of alerts in my Xastir instance here (View->WX Alerts), so I kicked the weather alert server a bit ago and started seeing more alerts in that window.  Still seeing ZERO areas lit up though.

The most likely problem would be the newer NWS Shapefiles.  I don't recall any changes to the Xastir code lately WRT weather alerts.

I'll do some more checking.
