There is indeed a problem with the gnomonic projection. I'm using SuSE
11.4, and both the system kstars and the freshly updated and compiled
kstars (4.6.00 "release 6") have the wrong order. Not only this, but
extra lines are drawn when constellation lines and/or grid lines are on
(but not constellation boundaries). It is as if these lines and cardinal
point labels are "seen through" from the other side of the globe. 

When switching to OpenGL, the lines are correctly drawn, nut the order
of cardinal points is still wrong.
