  I made a quick change to fix this problem.  It uses CivII's method and hides
the flags for cities which don't have any units in them.  The only problem is
that it's hard to tell which player owns the city when there isn't a flag. :-)
I think CivII had a solution for this problem but I don't remember what it was.
Perhaps the city text could be displayed in the color of the player who owns the
city?

  The first patch is against the GTK+ client and the second is against the
Xaw client.

  Nothing is hopeless.

  PROOF:
(a) Assume the opposite.
(b) If something _is_ hopeless, then its condition can only improve.
(c) If its condition can only improve, then there must be hope for it.
(d) Therefore, nothing is hopeless.  QED.
