Caveats
If a user has multiple instances of ds9 running, the dax tasks which use xpa calls will not work properly.
Workaround:
You can specify a unique name for each ds9 when it is launched
unix% ds9 -title snrs file_1.fits & unix% ds9 -title grbs file_2.fits &
Bugs
ds9 version 7.1 has a problem if the frame size (window) is an odd number of pixels in either the X or Y directions. The effect is an apparent 0.5 pixel shift.
Workaround:
As a workaround, use the 'Frame:Frame Parameters:Display Size' menu to set the current frame to some even dimensions. (or use -width and -height from the command line)
% ds9 -width 768 -width 480 foo.fits
ds9 launched from obsvis hangs if "Region → Select all" is used (28 Feb 2012)
