I made a fix to make gtk pan correctly to violation and put crosshair on it.

I could add in pointer warping but maybe people dont want it?

Now the work flow is:

   click_on_violation -> point_at_crosshair -> zoom

It could be just:

   click_on_violation -> zoom

At the cost of pointer warping which some people find weird and might work
different with
different window managers.

The other HIDs probably still don't pan correctly because CenterDisplay()
got hacked to not actually center the display.  It looks like the
HID_SC_PAN_VIEWPORT option of set_crosshair might work right for lesstif at
least (it was quite broken for gtk).

I think these bugs come from the strange definition of set_crosshair in
hid.h.  Its only used during DRC check and really you always want
PAN_VIEWPORT, and can just decide once and for all on pointer warp (I tend
to say no).  set_crosshair without pan makes for a big inconsistency and
WARP_POINTER without pan is worse.
