Many thanks.  Each new version is a pleasure as the feature set grows 
and stability improves.

In some early work I noticed on windows, displaying maps from a WMS 
server (mapserver 4.10.2) that the map image doesn't appear until I do 
something. I have to open some other dialog box, then when I close it, 
the map appears. If I pan or zoom, I see the map layers *while panning*, 
but as soon I  release the mouse the map layers (as well as north arrow 
and other decorations) disappear. If I click on the Render button to 
disable rendering, then click again to re-enable, the map appears. But 
again, any zooming or panning causes it to disappear. I've tried palying 
with the Rendering options Update display after reading 1 feature, but 
that didn't change anything.

On an Ubuntu machine with the debian binary (Thanks to Jachym Cepicky!), 
pulling layers from the same WMS server, I don't see this behavior at all.

BTW, displaying layers using the WFS plugin from the same server works 
well on both systems.

Regards,
Micha

Hi Richard

Great to get your feedback! Tisham has done a great job getting the
python stuff to work automagically under windows.
