[Kstars-devel] UI For Memory Management

[Jason Harris]

I like it.  How about "Faint limit at low zoom" instead of "Faint
limit when zoomed out"?

Also, for consistency, we should have "Display deep sky catalogs",
since we have "Display stars".  Actually, we ususally use "Show"
instead of "Display" elsewhere in the GUI.
