I would suggest that if you are using satellite photos for scenery,
you probably want to get rid of the GSHHS coastlines entirely.  Just
let the imagery do it's thing.  In this case you really just want an
image drapped over terrain, and you probably want to ignore *all* the
2d polygon stuff in terragear.
