header for the waypoints to work)

- added more info on the front page
Fri Nov 17 07:25:33 EET 2006
- js: pop up tracked target info balloon only after centering on the
target, so that the balloon will (hopefully) fit and will not
abor the pan by doing it's own autofit
Fri Nov 17 17:09:54 EET 2006
- js: when first searching a callsign, jump directly to the right
location instead of going via the initial default view

info balloon and let it do the minimum required panning, instead of
triggering panning myself
