Hi, sorry I was responsible for the Meshwork tutorial (at
http://oolite.aegidian.org/cyoship ) that caused this confusion.

The textures Tobias was using were 255x255 rather than 256x256 or some
other power of two in each dimension and this caused the texturing
mess.

It might be wise to have the next version of Meshwork check (and
ideally, correct) the dimensions of textures pasted into the materials
dialog.
