I take a look at this. I think the indicater should only be visible in 
the net mode.

Yeah, I've played with a patch that increases the indicator together 
with the width of the net:

http://repo.or.cz/w/geda-gaf/werner.git?a=shortlog;h=magneticnet

It looks fine in the (net-style "thick") mode. But in the 
(net-style "thin") mode the marker still becomes smaller than the net 
endpoint markers.

Great.

I think it should stay enabled in the git repo. If there are much 
complains on the mailing list, it should be disabled before the next 
release.

I've currently one rc parameter to enable/disable the magnetic mode on 
startup, enabled by default.

Thanks.
