Bug Description
Hello. I'm using Stellarium 0.12.4 on Kubuntu Precise 64 bit. (I think it is a great software except for some minor bugs which I hope to report over time and get fixed by the kind devels! So thank you!)
Now this is possibly related to bug 512086 but I do not think it is exactly the same as that so I'm filing this separately.
(That bug reports some possible error in displaying the ecliptic line whereas) I would like to have an option under:
Sky/Viewing options > Markings
to display the ecliptic grid of date. Currently we have options to display the Equatorial Grid (I presume of date) and the J2000 Equatorial Grid. We also have an option to display the J2000 Ecliptic Grid. But we do not have an option to display the Ecliptic Grid of date. Please add such an option. Due to precession, obviously the Ecliptic Grid of date can be displaced (in longitude and slightly in obliquity) w.r.t. the J2000 Ecliptic.
While fixing this please clarify the wording in this window as follows:
Equatorial grid -> Equatorial grid of date
Equatorial J2000 grid -> Equatorial grid of J2000
Ecliptic grid -> Ecliptic grid of date
Ecliptic J2000 grid -> Ecliptic grid of J2000
Thank you!

An additional thought -- I do not see much requirement for any user to display both the equatorial/ecliptic grids of J2000 and of date at the same time. That is, you either require the equatorial grid of J2000 or of date but not both. Likewise for ecliptic grid. So perhaps you could make this a radio option or perhaps a combobox to the right of a simple "Ecliptic grid" with options: "Of date", "J2000" and likewise for "Equatorial grid". This would help reduce clutter in the options window.
