What is it that I should be ALT-CLICKing on? If I ALT-CLICK on the
edit link on the GPX traces page, Chrome wants to save the target
page. If I ALT-CLICK on the screen in Potlatch 2, I create a point.

Aha, load the GPX track using MyTracks, and then ALT-CLICK on the GPS
trace and it gets converted to a way.

I was able to get Potlatch back to being my default editor, and then
converted the GPX to a locked way, and make my road... I now know how
to do the same with Potlatch 2...

It probably is, but I doubt I'll be doing any editing over there any
time soon... still looking for a way to not have it come up as a
default location.
