There were a couple of bugs where setting the position doesn't work with
the full Marble version. There still appears to be one bug that I haven't
tracked down, but since I switched the Windows binaries to use my hacked
Marble version the reports of issues with the globe have gone way down.

Now all of the "official" binaries use that branch :-)

Oh good, so they fixed that but. Until not too long ago they always
created the Debug build, even when asking for a Release build.
