#201: "Map Edit Sources" window fails to appear

     Type:  Bug           |      Status:  new     
 Priority:  Stability     |   Milestone:  0.3.2b10
Component:  Map           |     Version:  0.3.2b10
 Keywords:                |    Platform:  Windows

 WB8KUG, N3TSZ, N0EOP and N0SO were playing with adding static map
 locations. When Map->Edit Sources was selected the first time, the "Edit
 Map Sources" window worked. On the 2nd attempt, the "Edit Map Sources"
 window failed to appear. Exiting, then restarting d-rats made the "Edit
 Map Sources" window appear again on the first attempt, but not on the 2nd.

 Test Environment: Windows Vista with SP2 running in a VM under Fedora
 Linux. WB8KUG also experienced this running Vista on real hardware (I was
 running a VM to help troubleshoot).

 A quick review of the debug log showed:
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "d_rats\map_source_editor.pyo", line 38, in _add
   File "d_rats\map_source_editor.pyo", line 173, in __init__
   File "d_rats\map_source_editor.pyo", line 128, in __init__
 RuntimeError: could not create GladeXML object in several locations. The
 debug log is attached.

 Work Around: Exit and re-start d-rats or copy the static location files to
 the "...static_locations" folder manually.

 I recommend making this a low priority, since there is a "work around"

 NOTE: The "Edit Map Sources" window works "fine business" under Linux.
 N3TSZ and N0EOP were running Windows XP and did not experience this
 problem. I suspect the error is a "low memory" or some other resource that
 is specific to Windows Vista (and probably Windows 7).

 Debug log file is attached.
