rate map - new map type

[GoogleCodeExporter]

There is a discrepancy in the logic for new map type when the
first map is a rate map. For example, creating a box map for
the raw rate of malaria over population gives the proper map.
Right clicking on the current map and changing the map type
to say natural breaks makes a map for malaria only, i.e., for
the numerator of the rate, but not for the rate.
This is counterintuitive at best (I didn't realize it was not a map
for the rates until I thought is looked really weird and double
checked). Somehow, the interface does not remember that the
map in question is a rate map.
Using GeoDa 1.4.6.

This is the way GeoDa has always worked.  Unfortunately, this is not a trivial 
change in the current map design.  The workaround is to create a new variable 
based on the rate calculation and then show that as Natural Breaks.  I would 
estimate a week of coding effort to change the current design.  Can this be 
moved to a 1.8 feature?

Solution: add a one-time-warning flag.
