I'm in the process of downloading 2.2.2 and building new qt packages for
both potato and woody.. I should have these done by tomorrow.

ack! that would explain the probs I have (sblive)...
how do you load sound fonts?

I've noticed that it only works (on my sytems) the first time around...after
that you must already have a kfmclient loaded...

good point on the patch... I'm not sure...the patch contains a bunch of

I'm working on that... :) It's a high priority as I download the 50+megs
of updates + 8 megs of 2.2.2 qt and 12 megs of qt-embedded which I need
to build on 2 i386 systems (potato/woody) and a sparc woody system.
