Looks good.  

It might be nice to also display the star-density / mag-limit in a 
similar way when it gets changed.  The problem is that I don't know 
what to call it.  I suppose it might be best to stick with "faint limit 
zoomed out".  Or maybe we should just starting calling that number the
"star density".  I think calling it "star density" both in the status
bar and in the config menu would be the most clear now because that is
what it is now controlling.  The values happen to equal the faint limit
when zoomed out (or at a nominal zoom) but users should know that it is
the star density knob.  Any thoughts?

I also like the cute lil' LED in the right hand corner.

BTW: the compilation in the unfrozen branch is now failing when building
lx200ap.o.  But since that happens after the kstars executable is built,
it is not a disaster.
