[gradsusr] contours not plotting

[John Wilson]

For some reason I have not been seeing my own posts, so I'm not sure 
whether they were ever visible. From the openSUSE forum I know I am not 
the only openSUSE 13.2 user who is experiencing this problem with GrADS 
2.1.a3. I was wrong in suggesting the problem also occurs with GrADS 
2.1.a1 and 2.0.2.

Earlier info below... and follow-up on the openSUSE thread can be seen at:

Thanks for any suggestions. John W

Hello Jennifer,

I've updated to xorg-x11-server-7.6_1.17.1-374.9.x86_64, but this has
not altered the behaviour of GrADS 2.1.a3.

Thanks, John.
