Oh, execute session is largely broken. Although it was designed to  
help integrating both planning and logging of deep-sky observations in  
KStars, it is largely incomplete.

While logging is mostly broken, the observation planner is "usable",  
but there are still a lot of bugs. I had gone observing on Friday  
night and KStars crashed on me at least 4 ~ 5 times, did not save my  
DSS images, so my observing was much more sub-optimal than it  
should've been.

Sadly, I don't have the time to fix it these days, although I really  
do care about it. However, I think I might make the planner more  
robust and fail-safe before I go to Texas Star Party -- I'll push my  
fixes to trunk around that time.

If you know any programmers who understand deep-sky observation and  
would be interested to help out, please do invite them to join the  
project!
