Hi,

I love OmniWeb, but.....    [this is the officially correct bug  
report form, right?]

When I try to get weather maps as backdrops for the X display I run  
on my cube's second head, it doesn't work any more. It worked fine  
in the immediately previous (prec-Xmas) version, but no more.

The weather maps are to be found on the MSU/UCG "WX-Maps to go"  
server.  My display is set to allow that machine to draw on it, and  
as I say it used to work.  Here's the URL for the WX-MAPS to go  
form:

http://rs560.cl.msu.edu/weather/getmegif.html

But when I ask for a map, the connection is made but nothing gets  
drawn. The Console reports the following:

What's up? And how can I/you fix it? I can't leave the office until  
I find out what the weather is......
