At our shop it is standard practice that the operators have the read/write
map.  I am told that the reason behind this is that unless at least one map
is open for read/write all the time, the map won't do colour propagation
properly.  Ie the top level icons won't go yellow when something below them
fails.

I would really like to know if this is true, because it just seems to me
that this might have been a bug which has long since been fixed.
