That's funny, Fred. (more funny-peculiar than funny-haha). I run 
Orbitron under Wine, it works better for me - just for (ISS) prediction. 
It shows Sun, Moon, Greyline - and the map can be re-centred - just grab 
and pan. I put 30deg East at the edges, NZ to the middle.
I don't have RF - situational restriction - so can't comment that way - 
but re-organising the modules in gpredict I found the same lack and 
oddity: update transponder info, but no display module :(
