[Xastir] Another test: was originally: Re: Query on symbol ghosting

[Ken Koster]

To test Curt's fixes to the list, and to avoid another test message without 
real content this is a repost of something I sent last month that got eaten.

During the testing I've been doing for Curt my 91 year young mother had me 
hollering to her when the planes would be coming by so she could go over to 
the window and look. (we're only a few miles south of SeaTac and right on the 
flight path)

That got old real quick, so I'm using an alternative.
For those of you with a Google ChromeCast and a big screen, Google's Chrome 
browser has a plugin that will cast any screen or window (at least on Linux).  
So I'm casting the Xastir window and she watches on the big screen. 

You might also want to select larger fonts, but beware, xastir doesn't scale 
fonts well because it has fixed offsets when you turn on things like altitude 
and speed.  I need to tie them to selected font size but haven't figured out 
exactly how to do that yet.  Hard coded works great,  but I need to pass in 
the selected font size.

P.S.  Thanks to Curt I now have three dongles,  a plethora of connecting 
cables, a multiport hub to handle them all, a discone antenna and a splitter 
to feed them with.    It's just money...
