I didn't say "cd to Xastir/Xastir-master", though.  I said:

 - cd into .xastir/OSMtiles/mapnik and use "ls -lrt" to find the
   directory that has changed most recently.  cd into that directory.

~/.xastir is where Xastir stores files as it runs.  ~/xastir/OSMtiles is
where it caches the OSM tiles as it downloads them.  Each directory in there
is the cache for a specific tile server, and the subdirectories of those
are for different areas for that tile server.

Go look in there and find the most recent PNG and see if it displays properly
outside of Xastir.  If it does, then Xastir is the culprit, not the download.

Hmm.  That looks right, and is the same graphicsmagick version I have.

This may be a chore to debug, since that version of Xastir and GraphicsMagick
are known to display OSM_tiled_mapnik on other systems.  You might try turning
on map debugging by setting debug level to 16 and observing the console output
as it tries to render map tiles to see if there are any messages on the
console that might pertain to what's going on here.
