They are locked at 0,0 because you typically want 0 lat, 0 lon to be
somewhere off the west coast of Africa. don't worry about it.

They are shown because some other projections with locked terms are more
interesting..

I think that will be the wxGUI location wizard still needing some work.
there's a trac ticket for it. The work-around is to enter the bounds
as decimal degrees not ddd:mm:ss.sssH. from the old text based "wizard"
you can enter in either format.

don't do that.

can you cut and paste the whole command line? it gets cut off.

what does `head sites.txt` look like?
