gEDA-user: n00b confused about track connections

[Dave N6NZ <n6nz@xxxxxxxx>]

Just getting serious about going for my first layout using pcb. I have 
done some PC layout before, so my questions are all about how this 
particular software works, not pc layout in general.

I have a test file with two parts and four nets the successfully netlist 
(yay!) and I can pull them into pcb.  When I turn on the ratlines, all 
nets show up.  Good so far... but now sometimes when I try to route a 
net, it refuses to join a track to existing track for that net.  All the 
pads and track segments light up as part of the net when I select the 
net in the netlist.  But pcb refuses to let the tracks connect. What's 
up with that? It's like it refuses to believe the tracks/pads are all 
part of the same net when placing tracks, yet the netlist highlighting 
is correct.
