The data in KML file doesn't show up in the map

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
 1.Press F4
 2.Select a KML file
(for example, a one downloaded from 
http://code.google.com/apis/kml/documentation/KML_Samples.kml)
 3.press "OK" 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

On Google earth/map, there is a tracking data shown on the map, but in this 
case, the "select KML file" window closes but no tracking data is shown.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Version 0.7.5.0

Please provide any additional information below.

Tracking data??
after you select the kml file and click Ok take a look at your markers, what do 
you see?

What is the tracking information?
I guess I should install Google earth to see what you are taking about, the 
tool we have only imports markers from a KML file...

I see that there is a lot of information in the KML_Samples.kml, currently we 
only get some data from the <Placemark> tags.

I'm having a similar issue. My personal .kml file that GoogleMaps gave me 
doesnt load at all in 0.7.5.2 - I checked the Edit Markers menu and not a 
single marker loads. Do the markers need to be a special kind before the kml 
file is created?

Hello to help us debug please post a link to the .kml file(s) that you are 
having troubles with.

Hi

Congrats for the great software work !!! Have been using it for about 6 months 
now and am now familiar with almost all the features and have used this 
software in real time with a blue-tooth GPS Data-logger/Reciever.

I presume that what okaya meant by Tracking Data is the Path (Route info) in 
Google Earth. I have notices this too that instead of drawing a line with 
way-points, gmapcatcher on displays markers on the way-points.

Markers have no information displayed on the map, just a huge pin. What I have 
done is I have studied Python, Pango, Cairo - just for this great software and 
did some modification to the code on my notebook in Ubunto Partition to display 
the marker information and have decreased the size of the marker to 50%.

Q. How can I display outlined-text on the Map like it is in Google earth. Am 
wanting an out-lined text so that the last string will be visible when there 
are lots of markers in close proximity. Is it possible in pango.Layout ?

Here is what it looks like when there are many markers.
